        Verdict

        This is another race that is hard to assess but we will take a chance with Tabago Reef, Forced Upon Us and Zain may do best of the others. The selction has been in good form this season but has been unfortunate to meet a couple of improving types. His recent second behind Charlotte Grey has been given a massive boost with that winner landing a nursery last week and he looks the one to be on today. Forced Upon Us landed a seller last time and although this company will be more taxing, he should still play a major role. James Given does well in this type of contest and so Zain, who wasn't beaten far here last time, must be given every respect. Show Trial is well exposed but has solid form and may do best of the rest, however Tobago Reef appears to have the strongest recent form on show and he gets our vote.
