      Verdict

      Golden Duck gets the confident vote here with Aviation and Primus Inter Pares rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Ice Bucket last time out and probably would have won but for making a mistake two out, he need only put in a fluent round of fencing to score. Aviation rates the main danger on his latest second behind High Callibre, he gets the weight for age allowance and will not be far away. Primus Inter Pares would have a chance on his latest second behind Marine Life but he looks a short runner. The remainder have shown very little and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Golden Duck.
