        Verdict

        JOHN POTTS is a standing dish at this track and can add to his six course wins. He finished runner-up in an amateur's race here last week on only his second start since March and should be spot on now. Knowe Head was placed behind Archie Rice over as shorter trip here recently and that form gives him the beating of Strike Force, while there may be more to come from Yourinthewill now he's finally got his head in front. The inconsistent Khun John could prove best of the rest if on a going day.
