        Verdict

        BA Clubman gets the confident vote here with Noble Pursuit and Sandy Bay the pair we fear the most. The selection is not the most consistent and although he failed to show improvement when fitted with a visor last time, we are prepared to give him another chance here. He looks to have a really solid chance on the pick of his form, he will be suited by the step-up in trip, and he also has the very capable David Nolan in the plate. Noble Pursuit rates the main danger and was a fair seventh on his return to the level at Southwell last time. He is not the most consistent but if he is on a going day then he could run our selection close. Sandy Bay is returning to the flat after a spell over hurdles and he could be potentially well-treated on the pick of his flat form. He has the services of Tony Culhane here which is another bonus and he looks to have decent place prospects. Noul and Turn Around are from yards that do well here and are others to consider, but for the winner we return to BA Clubman.
