        Verdict

        Exit Smiling has leading claims and is taken to see off the challenges of Vancouver Gold, Joe Jo Star and Aswan to name but three. This low grade affair will take little winning, and on the evidence of his latest run, Exit Smiling should make a bold bid. Greg Chung's four-year-old was the only one to make a race of it with the favourite Shadow Jumper here 11 days ago, finishing second, beaten three lengths at the finish. He was giving the favourite five-pounds that day, which made his performance all the more commendable, and it will be disappointing if he cannot go one better. Vancouver Gold has been on the easy list since April, but she won in better company at Southwell last March, having recovered from a cracked knee, and if anywhere near fit, can give the selection most to do. Joe Jo Star scraped home in a banded race here in December but that was over further and he now has to give weight away to our pick, as does Aswan who will do well to hang on if trying to make all as he usually does. Exit Smiling caught the eye last time and we remain loyal to him.
