        Verdict

        Mac's Elan, Sriology and Shergael are three against the field in an open affair and the tentative vote is given to Sriology. The selection won well last time out when beating Galley Law and although he has a penalty for that win he won with a little in hand and he is taken to score under conditions that suit. Mac's Elan rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Financial Future. However that was in a seller and this looks more competitive so he will need to improve to score. Shergael is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Lyrical Way but he is far from consistent so can not be put forward with any confidence. Lenwade is game and consistent and would have place claims on his best form of last season but he may need the run after a long break. Of the remainder Shades of Green is from a yard in form and should be noted in the market but for thew winner we return to Sriology.
