        Verdict

        Somedayonedaynever is 0-11 and was last of three at Brighton so a chance is taken with DARK KRIS, who is 1-34 but hasn't been in bad form this summer and a return to this trip can see him double his winning tally. Three Dons is 0-15 but was running reasonably well in the summer before taking a break. Essme managed a victory at Lingfield in May but has been inconsistent subsequently while Counterattack has only had three runs and was a 200/1 chance at Kempton last time.
