        Verdict

        A dire contest where three are blinkered for the first time and there is some shocking form around, but we will side with one of those hooded performers, Providence Farm to score from Colditz and The Dandy Fox. The Mick Easterby-trained selection has not won in five attempts but in the context of this race his last three efforts have been more than useful. He acts at the trip and on fast ground and his handler looks to have found him a decent opportunity. Colditz would have a clear chance judged on his promising Ripon run last month, but has shown nothing both over six and seven furlongs since and seems to be undera bit of a cloud, although this drop in class should see him thereabouts. Ladas Lad looks very slow but in this heat he might make the frame, although The Dandy Fox has a better chance fo doing so if he can improve on his latest Newcastle effort. But Providence Farm gets the vote in the seller.
