        Verdict

        Escalade, Dickie Deadeye and Ben Kenobi are three against the field in a wide open affair and the tentative vote goes to Escalade. The selection was a fair third behind Sualda last time out and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Dickie Deadeye rates the main danger on his latest third behind Hawridge Prince but he has yet to prove he stays this far and for that reason he is opposed.Ben Kenobi is another worthy of respect he was a fair second behind Trusted Mole last time but that form has since been let down. However this slightly shorter trip should suit. Lucky Arthur was a fair second behind Velvet Waters last time but is another that usually finds one to good. Of the remainder Diamonds Will Do is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Escalade.
