        Verdict

        Libre gets the vote over Linning Wine, with Risk Free and Takes Tutu others in with a shout. Libre caught the eye in defeat when just caught by Mystic Man at Lingfield eight days ago. Claimed out of Ernst Oertel's yard afterwards, the six-year-old bids for his fourth course win on his first start for Frank Jordan, and with Eddie Ahern in the saddle, recent losses can be recouped, as he was well backed last time. Linning Wine has seen better days and has an absence to overcome, so will do well to give weight away all round, and Risk Free is another that has been around a long time. He has showed a little bit more of late, but will do well to master Libre who is the one that they all have to beat.
