    Verdict

    Gracechurch is likely to be at short odds for the opener and is hard to oppose in a contest where the real race should be for minor honours that should go to Is It Me. The selection has shown a similar level of form in all five starts so far and need only reproduce the best of his form to gain an overdue first success. Paul Blockley's Is It Me stepped up on debut form when chasing home Generous Lad at Chepstow last time and he rates the obvious danger. Neither Symphonia nor Jackie The Kat have given any sign of encouragement so far and this looks to provide a suitable opportunity for Gracechurch to open his account.
