      Verdict

      This is wide open with PASSIONAL getting a speculative vote on the back of placed efforts at Newmarket and Yarmouth last time. Powerallied went close at Chester on his latest start and Dandy's Max was narrowly beaten at Musselburgh. Eeh Bah Gum finished third at Nottingham earlier and is preferred to Harrogate and Ustath but Buniann has yet to win on Turf.
