      Verdict

      None of these inspire much confidence. Irish raider Zebgrey has gone backwards since her placed efforts during the summer and Sterling Lines went close at Bath only to disappoint at the same track last time. Krystallite has two ways of running but has claims if in the mood while Kodachrome has shown no improvement in three starts so far. It remains to be seen if MURDANOVA is up to winning this but he at least showed some progress at York last time and gets a token vote ahead of the newcomer King Cole.
