      Verdict

      Ravanchi and Saharia look up against it but the remaining quartet all have a chance of sorts in a tight claimer. Sunnyside Tom is unexposed on the all-weather although he should have done better in an easier race at Southwell last time, while Elijah Pepper is more than a little frustrating despite having won over C&D in October. Munsarim looks a real threat dropping in class, but STANDPOINT has also been competing in better company of late and won over track and trip the last time he raced at this level. Reg Hollinshead's charge gets the vote to come out best again today.
