      Verdict

      Soto gets the confident vote here with John Keats and The Osteopath rated as the main dangers. The selection ran well when a good third behind Imperial Sword at Hamilton last time. That race has worked out well and with ground conditions to suit Soto is taken to lead them home. John Keats rates the main danger as he was not all that far behind our selection in that Hamilton race and he probably paid the price for going off too quickly. On these terms there should not be a great deal between them again at the finish. The Osteopath stayed-on well despite being slowly away at Thirsk last time, but the trip seemed to suit that day so it will be interesting to see how he fares this afternoon dropped back down to 7f. Tora Petcha ran well enough on his seasonal reappearance at Warwick last time so he should strip fitter today and could could take some place money. However, for the winner we will stick with Soto.
