      Verdict

      Plenty in with a chance here judged on their best efforts but RED KESTREL's recent form earns him the vote. It was only a seller that he won earlier this month but his latest second in a handicap at Beverley suggests Kevin Ryan's charge is capable of scoring in this company. Bedouin Bay has gone off the boil since his win at Wolverhampton in February and Pertemps Networks has struggled off a higher mark since landing a double last September. Archie Rice returns to the Flat on a winning mark after some good efforts over timber and Fourth Generation has claims if fully wound up for his reappearance.
