      Verdict

      Phluke won well last time and he can score again at the main expense of Hartshead and Daaweitza. The selection has got course and distance winning form and he scored impressively last time when he got the better of Prince Of Thebes at Warwick. He looks one to stay on the right side of and he should be tough to beat. Hartshead is another who has won over this course and distance but he put in a couple of below-par efforts towards the end of last season although he should come on for his seasonal return, we will wait to see a bit more sparkle from him before we recommend him as a bet. Daaweitza is another who has to enter calculations and he could be a danger to all if he gets the strong pace that he needs to be seen at his best. Captain Jacksparra has a good draw and he can prove best of the others, but it was no fluke when Phluke won last time and he can score again.
