        Verdict

        Price Of Love receives the token selection ahead of Fairdonna and Barney McGrew. The selection was rated in the 80's during his time in Ireland and if able to translate that ability to the polytrack, it would be very difficult to see past him in a race that lacks any obvious superstars. Fairdonna ran much better than her recent run in handicap company suggests and is likely to be popular on account of experience of the course. Barney McGrew shaped well on debut at Lingfield and does have the benefit of hailing from a yard in form. Global Strategy was seen out only once for Dermot Weld last spring and could literally be anything. Price Of Love wouldn't have to be out of the ordinary to win this and we take a chance on Saturday night.
