      Verdict

      Another wide oepn affair rounds off the card but the main protagonists look to be Moon Forest, Cree and No Time and the narrow vote is given to Cree. The selection was unlucky in running when eighth behind Littledodayno last time out but ramains on a fair mark and under conditions that suit he looks a value bet in an open affair. Moon Forest rates the main danger but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when second behind Forces Sweetheart last time and he is passed over with this in mind. No Time is dropping in the weights and despite being at the top of the handicap he should be watched in the market with his yard in form. Tilsworth Charlie also won well last time out when beating Goodwood March but this looks tougher. Of the remainder Peruvian Style looks weighted up to his best while Broadfield Lady is hard to win and with this in mind for the winner we return to Cree who looks sure to run his race.
