        Verdict

        MR SOPRANO is one of the least exposed and may well be up to scoring in this lowly grade on his return to action. Gracefilly won at Kempton in November and can be forgiven her latest run at the same track as she failed to see out the 1m3f trip while Olivers Mount also has claims back over today's trip. Bennelong's recent improved effort came in a seller and Cadmium makes more appeal having landed a double at Kempton back in October.
