        Verdict

        This is quite a tricky contest for punters to call but Gleneagles gets the vote ahead of Buxton and Zach's Harmoney. This 3-year-old from the William Haggas yard showed plenty of promise on his debut when he chased home A Big Sky Brewing at Pontefract. If he can build on that effort then he should take plenty of beating here from a good draw. Buxton has had the two runs so far and he showed improved form last time to chase home Monte Alto. However, he has shown a tendency to be slowly away in his races and that could prove his undoing here from his wide draw. Zach's Harmony showed signs of greenness on his debut but also demonstrated ability and Brian Meehan's newcomers usually come on from their first outings, so it would be no surprise to see him go well. Capping and Ionian are interesting newcomers and are worth a look in the market, but for the winner we will return to Gleneagles.
