    Verdict

    Awesome Light has every chance at the weights and Willie Muir's colt has to be respected in a moderate contest but marginal preference is for Just Sam, who gets the vote with Redsensor rated the pick of the remainder. The selection disappointed at Hamilton last month but earlier form in handicaps, including over this trip on Lingfield's Polytrack, suggests that a race of this nature would be well within his compass. George Baker's Maddy is capable but is far from certain to appreciate the step up in trip, while Lenouska needs to improve on recent starts to trouble the judge. Formerly with Richard Hannon, Redsensor has to be respected for Mick Quinn having shown signs of a return to form at Wolverhampton last month, but a better bet looks to be Just Sam.
