        Verdict

        Distinctly Game can land the nightcap at the main expense of First Order and Sands Crooner. The selection ran well from a poor draw at Kempton last time when a close third behind Benllech. The draw could have been kinder again for him but he arrives here in good form and he might just be up to landing this event. First Order ran a respectable race behind Blue Tomato at Mussleburgh last time but he may be a little high in the weights at present, so he may find a couple too good. Sands Crooner is chasing the hat-trick tonight but he was all-out to beat Kempsey at Lingfield last time. Tolley Dean takes 3lbs off his back which will aid his cause but he could be vulnerable. The booking of Jamie Spencer catches the eye for Harry Up so he could go well, but a safer bet looks to be Distinctly Game who can come out on top.
