    Verdict

    After winning a Down Royal claimer, Friends Hope came across the water to win over 10 furlongs on Southwell's all-weather five days ago. He runs here from around the same mark, when factoring in his rider's allowance, so is the one to beat in this low-grade affair. The Jeremy Noseda-trained Silver Cache will surely improve stepped up in trip on his Turf debut and rates a big danger, while Incisor, who has so far run indifferently three times on switchback tracks, including here, showed improved form when stepped up to 10 furlongs at Nottingham last time, and he could go well too. The other three have looked ordinary so far, although Queen's Fantasy is now fitted with a first-time visor. It's a close call but the nod just goes to Friends Hope.
