      Verdict

      Hard to be confident about any of these. Officer In Command comes out best at the weights and should be in the firing-line if back to his best but CONDUCTING is just preferred. He's also been out of sorts lately but finished second in a handicap over C&D in March and gets the token vote on that basis. Catchanova has something to prove over this longer distance but Potentiale could figure back in this grade. The remainder all look likely to struggle on today's terms.
