        Verdict

        A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Komreyev Star, Dramatic Review and Thornaby Green and the tentative vote is given to the last named. The selection goes well at the track will love the ground and is well weighted on his best form and with the race looking sure to be run to suit he is hard to oppose. Komreyev Star rates the main danger as he was a fair third behind Mystical Air last time out. However he has never won on ground this soft and for that reason he is opposed. Dramatic Review is from a yard in top form but all his best efforts of late have come on very fast ground and he is readily opposed for that reason. Neil's Legacy is another that could well as he won under similar conditions when beating Madam Caversfield last time out but this looks more competitive and he may struggle under his penalty. Zandeed has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Thornaby Green.
