    Verdict

    The three to took out for with racing experience are Chip Leader, Fasuby and Alternative with the strong vote going to the last named. Second on his debut over course and distance behind Carsons Spirit Alternative will take some beating after that outing and with experience now on his side is difficult to avoid. Chip Leader has been well beaten on both starts to date but is worth noting in the betting market as the stable also run a newcomer in Grand Prix which is another to note. Fasuby improved from its debut run to finish sixth of eleven at Warwick last time out but needs to improve once again to win here. So for the winner we return to Alternative.
