        Verdict

        Seedsman just held on at Aintree in May but may struggle to follow up here under a penalty. Winning pointer Captain Kelly is interesting, however, on his debut for Paul Nicholls while Stay Connected has also scored between the flags and Sammyman was a promising third at Wincanton on his first start. But the Flat-bred BARENGER, a full brother to the versatile Indian Pipedream, shouldn't be short of speed and can make a winning start. God Of The Kop and Sugar And Spice are other newcomers who should pay their way over the coming months.
