      Verdict

      Norcroft,Simplify and Watchmyeyes look the three to concentrate on in this competitive claimer and the confident vote is given to Norcroft. The selection won well last time out when beating Dancing Deano, that form has since been franked and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Simplify rates the main danger as he was a fair sixth behind Society Music in a handicap last time out. This looks easier and he should be closely monitored in the market. Watchmyeyes is another worthy of respect as although he was well beaten last time out behind Tax Free that form looks rock solid and he has definite place claims. Veneerhails from a yard in form and is another with place claims despite top weight.Of the remainder Gortumblo looks on a handy mark on some of his form but is far from consistent and for the winner we return to Norcroft.
