      Verdict

      This looks just as competitive as the first divison, but Soaked is taken to show his rivals a clean pair of heels. David Chapman's speedy old timer can be forgiven his latest effort as there was plenty of messing around, not only with the loading of the runners at Wolverhampton, but also a false start. All things being equal here, he should soon have most of these off the bridle. Czar Wars isn't the horse he was and has plenty to prove over this trip now, while a bigger threat may come from Polar Haze, who has plenty of form over course and distance, but if this was a handicap he would be receiving plenty of weight from the selection. Above Board isn't one to rely on, but he is capable of running a big race at a decent price.
