Verdict

A real puzzle with so may convoluted form lines to consider, but it could be EBRAAM's turn today. He was beaten by Master Of Disguise over 5f here last time but re-opposes on better terms and will prefer this extra furlong. The latter had earlier finished second to Cape Of Storms with Tombi back in third and Ollie Pears' charge had beaten recent C&D winner Hinton Admiral before that. Just to complicate matters further, Imprimus Tagula isn't out of this either having gone close at Southwell last time.
