        Verdict

        Little Choosey won this a year ago and, though 9lb higher, has won on the track again since and at Wolverhampton so should be in the shake-up. BOGARDUS doesn't win very often but generally operates at a slightly higher level and has dropped to his lowest ever mark so gets the vote. Frantical won here as a two-year-old and scored over the trip at Brighton in June then found a mile too short on a return visit. Thello has never won on Turf and was beaten in a Redcar seller last time but Ifan didn't stay 1m4f at Brighton last time and is better over today's trip as he showed with two very good runs at the seaside track in the spring.
