        Verdict

        MY GACHO should be a decent prize and we back him against likely market leaders, Hear The Roar and Sedgwick. Mark Johnston's handicappers seem to be performing well at present and while My Gacho has been hard to win with, he seems to need a mile these days and he will not be troubled by the likelihood of fast ground. Hear The Roar is pitched in at the deep end having won his maiden at Goodwood. The well backed favourite on that occasion has been turned over in a weak affair at Ripon earlier in the week. Sedgwick has been a revelation at lesser grade and proved himself no back number at Carlisle with a solid run in the consolation race for the Bell. Amanda Perrett has been amongst the winners so it would be folly to rule out Tudor Key. His recent form isn't exactly the stuff to be hitting the headlines but he does act on the Epsom track. Twilight Star ran his best race for some time recently and is worthy of some note. My Gacho is the pick at the likely odds of reward.
