        Verdict

        A wide open affair here and many would have a chance on their best form but the principals look to be Labrett, Bank On Him, Lauro and Samuel Charles and the tentative vote goes to the last named. The selection won well last time out when defeating Titian Lass and if he is as effective on this surface he will be hard to beat off what looks a good mark. Labrett rates the main danger he was a fair third behind River Flint last time and is sure to run his race but he may struggle to give weight and a beating to the selection. Bank On Him is another worthy of respect he has the form to win but a row of five seconds is off putting. Of the remainder Lauro is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but he may just need the run after a 203 day absence so for the winner we return to Samuel Charles.
