      Verdict

      Grate Deel has been at the top of his game of late and again he should be hard to beat as he looks as if he will get an easy lea, but his best form is on fast ground and if there is a fair amount of rain he may be worth opposing. Weaver George could also go well but he appears to be in the handicappers grip at present. Pessimistic Dick looks a thorough stayer and he may find this track on the sharp side. Specialize is thrown in on his best form and he looks the value bet in a tricky affair. Mr Mahdlo was disappointing last time but he could bounce back to form on this faster ground.
