    Verdict

    A small field here again and another race where the market should give us a decent guide. Golden Nougat carries a penalty for landing a four-runner Ludlow bumper in March and at least showed us he has ability with that win, but it is likely to be tested to the full here by Classify, who will come on for his debut run and Insharann. The latter makes his debut here, but that won't worry Nicky Henderson, who is a master with his bumper horses and it would be no surprise to see him take advantage of the weight for age allowance and score. He is a tentative selection.
