    Verdict

    Quite a trappy contest to finish and with Woodbury, Goodenough Mover and the enigmatic Sussex Lad, all proven on firm ground there may not be much between them. However, if Goodenough Mover adopts his customary front running role, the race could be set up for Sussex Lad, who gets a rather tentative vote. The selection travels strongly in his races, but doesn't always produce what he promises to, but the hope is that Goodenough Mover will make this a decent test and Liam Treadwell can produce his mount late. Woodbury is another who likes to race handy, which should ensure a decent gallop, and she looks sure to run her race. Senior Minister, useful as a two-year-old, has gone a long time since he showed anything like his best, while Yorkies Boy is also on the slippery downhill slope. Sabana is a possible, but with a sound pace assured, Sussex Lad should have the race run to suit.
