      Verdict

      None can be confidently eliminated from calculations but REGGAE RUNNER is an interesting sort who shaped pleasingly when obliging at LIngfield back in February. He's yet to tackle turf but it would prove no surprise to see him prove a typical Mark Johnston improver and the son of Lethal Force can make it two on the bounce with track and conditions likely to suit. The Newmarket raiders, Politicise and On The Line, have both shown more than enough to rate as key players with the former preferred of the pair now that the Haggas bandwagon has moved into overdrive at headquarters this week. Howzer Black delivered a couple of solid performances last month on the all-weather and could get involved too in receipt of weight all round.
