      Verdict

      It's difficult to make a strong case for any of this bunch but MONEL scored in soft ground over 7f here back in June - he gets a token vote on that basis. Jumbo Steps was a well beaten runner-up at Musselburgh last time but there was plenty of cut when Dark Opal scored over 5f here last season. Opt Out has won over track and trip on a faster surface while Masked Dance and Saxonette may get involved but Sewn Up has done all his winning so far on the all-weather.
