        Verdict

        Great As Gold is interesting here and should go well if fit, however Peak Park won well last time and gets the vote here, Red Forest may do best of the others. The selection beat Safron Fox over the two mile trip here last time, leading over a furlong out and staying on strongly. He landed a hat-trick of victories here during last winter and could be set to run up another sequence. Great As Gold hasn't raced since May 2004, but had pretty decent form on the turf and all-weather. He gets in here on a fair mark and could go close if fit. Red Forest has a squeak on his second to Whispering Death at Redcar last month and should be noted for any market move. Night Sight is another to consider for place purposes, but for the winner we side with Peak Park.
