      Verdict

      This looks less competitive than the previous division and a good run from Rock On Bollinski would boost the claims of VIRNON, who finished third to the latter at Redcar with Hurry Home Poppa not far behind. Alan Swinbank's charge should go close racing off the same mark here. Jan Smuts was second at Musselburgh over today's trip a fortnight ago but regularly flatters to deceive but Surprise Vendor was placed at the same track back in May and a recent outing over fences should have blown any cobwebs away.
