    Verdict

    The market will tell its own tale here and ZEBEDEE is put forward as our selection with Reposer and Pick A Little put up as the likely dangers. Richard Hannon's charge won handsomely at Windsor on debut and while that does mean that a penalty has been accrued, he did look as if he knew his job and was plenty forward. John Best is not adverse to training the odd decent juvenile and it is interesting that he enters Reposer given that he cost just £4500. Pick A Little is respected. He made all to win at Kempton on his second start and with speed counting for plenty; he should be thereabouts from the go. Straight Line has to reverse form with our pick though raced as if the experience would not be lost upon him. Joe Junior is tried in blinkers. Gay Kelleway has already worked the oracle with this methodology before and Frankie Dettori is booked. Zebedee showed a likeable attitude on debut and while this is no gimme, he should be up to the task.
