      Verdict

      The speedy Tomthevic gets a slender vote of confidence over Talcen Gwyn and Ballybunion, while support for Multahab will also be dangerous to ignore. The last named does face stiff test on these terms though and looks vulnerable in this company. Ballybunion has been an absolute credit to everyone concerned with his racing career, as he seems to pull something out of the fire time and time again. He was badly drawn when down the field behind Multahab last time and it would be harsh to assume he cannot reverse the form with a clear run today. Talcen Gwyn has been knocking on the door lately and deserves a change of fortune. She has to considered as a major player in this company and may be worth a saver the odds are not too restricting. However, Tomthevic has speed to burn when he gets it right from the gates and he rates as a good value option to make every yard if he runs to scratch this afternoon.
