          Verdict

          It's pin time and with the runners spead across the course, it is difficult to know which side will be favoured. On the stands side Golden Bounty has a bit more to do than when winning at Newbury, but he is on good terms with himself at present and should give a good account. Hufflepuff showed plenty of pace at Newmarket and could well be suited by the drop in trip, while Fire Up The Band makes a quick re-appearance after not having the best of runs at York over the weekend. Up the centre Izmail, who travels well in his races and will be suited by the strong pace, Mubaah and Noble Nick are others worth a mention. Of the high numbers, the disappointing Waterside, who will be wearing a tongue tie for the first time, is capable of improvement, Caribbean Coral, who has the beating of Golden Bounty, on their running at Sandown and Irish raider Agnetha, are capable of taking a hand in the finish.
