      Verdict

      Arturius gets the confident vote here with Cold Turkey and Boo rating the main dangers. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Red Spell giving the impression he would be seen to even better effect over this longer trip. He remains on a fair mark and with Eddie Ahern again taking the ride he will be hard to beat. Cold Turkey rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Polygonal. He is weighted to gain his revenge on that rival here and with his yard back amongst the winners he should be noted in the market. Boo was a fair fourth behind the selection last time and although he is better off at the weights here he still has a little to find. Of the remainder Ringsider is onj a handy mark and is worth a look in the market but for the winner we return to Arturius.
