        Verdict

        Roly Tricks still looks on a high enough mark at the head of the weights in what looks the weaker of the two divisions. He'd still be dangerous off his current mark if recapturing his winning form of last autumn but this may represent an opportunity for TOP OFFER to gain reward for his consistency. He appears equally proficient on Turf or an artificial surface and is one of the few here who seems guaranteed to run his race. Blushes has a decent claim and could have more to offer after just half a dozen starts, whilst Olympic Duel suggested he could contend in a race of this nature when a close-up fifth at Beverley last time. The bottom three in the weights all hail from good-quality yards and it will be interesting to see if any money comes for them as all three have shown little to date.
