        Verdict

        Norma Macauley's Mi Odds has been in a rich vein of form recently and but has a lot to do at the weights to confirm last month's running with Ofaraby and the Michael Jarvis-trained gelding, who gets the verdict to prevail with Nowell House rated the main danger. The last mentioned has not raced on the all-weather for nearly three years and did not seem to handle it then but may be worth another chance of what looks a favourable mark. However, a safer bet looks to be Ofaraby who won with some authority over course and distance last month and was not disgraced in an apprentices' race at Lingfield recently, when beaten three lengths by the well-handicapped Dower House. Open to improvement after just six starts, he looks the one to be on. Gay Kelleway's Labrett has more to do than when winning over a mile at Lingfield last time and of more interest could be the ex-Irish Hiawatha, who ran well when second at Redcar earlier this month on only his second start for Ian Semple. Jamie Osborne's Todlea and the Richard Fahey-trained Oldenway both warrant respect on their comeback's following a summer break but we stick with Ofaraby to return to winning ways.
