      Verdict

      Conditions are likely to play a part today, especially in this opener. Most of these have proved more effective on quicker surfaces so far but GWEEDORE was a winner on soft going over track and trip two runs ago and other wins this season have come with give in the ground. Amaysmont will also cope with the going with Coase and Old News possibly the pick of the remainder.
