      Verdict

      Eve Johnson Houghton's stable is in good form and old-timer Phluke can't be ignored here, despite conceding weight and age to his rivals. But we're going to stick with MR UDAGAWA, who easily beat stable companion Tuscan King in an amateurs' race over C&D last month. The five-year-old is 5lb higher now but still not badly treated on his best form and will handle the soft ground. Handicap debutant Another Whisper is dropped in grade but needs to improve on what she's shown so far, while Golden Hinde seems to be regressing at a rate of knots and all three of Forward Feline's wins so far have come on the all-weather.
