    Verdict

    In quite a tight affair, the vote goes to Cryfield ahead of Pop Up Again, Motu and Montara. Cryfield is more than capable of going well at this type of level and this course and distance winner, who is on a reasonable mark, gets a good mention here, his recent form standing up to inspection in the context of this race. Pop Up Again attracted money at Musselburgh last time and ran fairly well and it could be that this track will suit better, while Montara attracted money at Chepstow last time and looked all over the winner until being outbattled by Jackie Kiely close home. He should go well. A return to his form of this time last year would give Newcorp Lad a big chance, although he comes here on a modest run, while Motu remains capable of running well from a four-pound higher mark than for winning at Folkestone last time. His chance is respected, as is that of Double Ransom, although he too needs to get back to last summer's form. Finally, the best of Didoe's summer form would give her a shout for a place, while Time To Regret is on a winning mark based on October 2004 form. Overall, though, we will opt for Cryfield.
