        Verdict

        The draw has been kind to Will He Wish, who edges a narrow verdict over Welcome Stranger, Mine and Pentecost on the grounds of value. The last named has been highly tried of late and will appreciate the ease in grade. he is sure to be a popular choice but he does not face an easy task on these terms. Funfair, who makes his first appearance for Amanda Perrett today, is definitely one to bear in mind if there is money to support his claims this afternoon. However, the fact that he has been off for over a year and the switch in stables does suggest that has not been the easiest horse to train and he may just need this to put him right. Blue Spinnaker is another to watch in the market as he represents some very shrewd connections that are always keen on securing Yorkshire prize-money. However, Will He Wish has every chance of continuing the trend of outsiders coming good and he may be too good to miss with the likelihood of double figure odds are available.
