        Verdict

        A number of out of form horses are dropped to this grade so it could be worth chancing Came Back against Cool Sting and Memphis Man. Came Back accounted for Ockums Razor in a recent seller at the track and in our opinion was value for far more than the winning margin suggests. That run came after a three month absence so the fact that Eddie Ahern is happy to stick with him is a recommendation in itself. Cool Sting is very much a player on official BHB ratings. A winner over six furlongs a the track in April, his efforts over further have yielded no fruit. Memphis Man won on debut for Vicky Haigh having left the Giles Bravery stable. Unproven on the surface, the market is watched. Shunkawakhan has form to reverse with a number of these and may be better over seven furlongs. Gift Aid is becoming frustrating to follow and managed to find a 40/1 chance too good in a desperate Wolverhampton maiden. Crafty Fox is tried in a first time visor after a series of heavy losses. A trappy affair in which the winning form of Came Back makes him the obvious selection on the book.
