      Verdict

      We think it's interesting that having ridden for Richard Hannon on his previous two entries on this card that Seb Sanders isn't on either of the Hannon entries in this and instead partners LAUBERHORN so that gets our vote ahead of Banks And Braes and Fine Lace. The former champion jockey partners a horse that finally dumped his maiden tag in a seller last time. That run puts him in with a chance off this mark and the jockey booking does intrigue us. Jim Crowley takes up the ride on likely favourite Bank And Braes who should benefit for this step up in trip. He was a well held second behind an impressive winner from Mark Johnston's stable last time and although the form lines from the race could be stronger he is a leading player. Fine Lace made a pleasing reappearance finishing with a late run to grab a place so can be considered now that bit fitter while Leaving Alone has claims off a career low mark. We've taken a bit of an educated guess but we risk the selection on Lauberhorn.
