      Verdict

      It is probably best to concentrate on those with previous form and of those Getbuzzin looks the most likely winner, with Piccostar and Kung Hei rated the main dangers. The selection lost no caste in defeat behind Rod Millman's Glenmuir at Kempton last week and, with improvement to come, is expected to go one better today. Piccostar also lost out to a Millman inmate when going down to Azygous over course and distance last week, form on which she holds Casablanca Minx, but that looked a weaker contest than the one in which Getbuzzin was involved in. Jamie Osborne's Spectrum colt Crocodile Bay is bred to appreciate further and may be best watched first time out, while Bill Turner's juveniles have been slower to come to hand this year so Hasty Passion is difficult to recommend. Dream Factor makes limited appeal on pedigree and of more interest may be Kung Hei, who needs to improve on form but has the benefit of two previous runs. Getbuzzin showed plenty of promise first time out though and he gets the vote to go one better today.
