        Verdict

        News Of the Day gets the narrow vote in this desperate seller with Jost Van Dyke and Gold Response rating the main dangers. The selection hails from the in-form Mark Johson yard is the best of these on official bhb figures and from a good draw he looks the one to be on Jost Van Dyke rates the main danger on his best form but he is hard to win with and at likely odds looks worth opposing. Gold Response won well last time but that was a poor affair and he needs to improve. Of the remainder Solo City is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to News Of The Day.
