        Verdict

        Club House has bits of form that entitle him to consideration though he's too unreliable to have much faith in while North Pole keeps finding at least one too good off his current mark. Pour La Victoire got the better of Fair Comment over track and trip last time but they're hard to separate on today's revised terms so a chance is taken on SOVEREIGN POWER. His earlier victory at this track came over 1m2f when Paul Cole's charge made practically all the running and a similar outcome is expected today if he's allowed an easy lead.
