      Verdict

      Revolve, Writ and Glendale are three against the field in another tough race to call and the vote is given to Revolve. The selection has improved with each run of late and was a fair second behind Fantasy Crusader, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and as he goes well fresh under conditions that suit he is taken to regain the winning thread. Writ rates the main danger on his latest second behind Opera Writer but that was in a claimer and he looks to have plenty of weight. Glendale is another that could go well on his latest third behind Celtique, that form has since been franked and he should be noted in the market Fantasy Crusader is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable off this mark. Of the remainder Charlie Kennet has dropped to as handy mark but has shown very little of late and with this in mind for the winner we return to Revolve who is in the form of his life.
