    Verdict

    Many imponderables among this bunch and a tentative selection is given to Michael Bell's representative, Carel. He has already had a couple of these rivals behind him on an earlier meeting in Classified company at Musselburgh but the track should suit his style of running. Of the remainder, Taffs Well, comes from an in-form yard and is off a winning mark but while he has travelled well in recent races, he hasn't found too much in the finish.
