        Verdict

        Backing against Michael Bell in his present form is a strange thing to do so take Shirley Collins to bring home the bacon for his shrewd handler. She has the best form of all the runners and should go close if handling the surface. Summer Stock has shown bits of form in the past and may well handle this surface after a couple of runs at Lingfield and Southwell. Mufreh ran well last time out but did not appear to handle this track two starts ago.
