GIVE YOUR VERDICT looks a real unexposed progressive type and after victory on his handicap debut is given the vote to follow up under 6lb extra providing he handles the cut in the ground. Fox Hunt was hampered when making good headway on just his third start last time but while he should improve again to challenge he has it to do from this draw. The draw may also do it for Alrasm, although he is off a fair mark and Lord Raglan could run a big race at a price has he handles cut and is well drawn. A very tricky puzzle to solve but Give Your Verdict looks to be heading places.
