        Verdict

        Potentiale was given a peach of a ride by Holly Hall when landing an apprentices' handicap over course and distance last week and he has every chance racing off the same mark today but this is a better contest and preference is for NORTH CAPE, who can given weight away to most of his rivals. Henry Candy's gelding ran better than expected on unsuitably soft ground at Newmarket last month and he looks worth siding with back on faster going at a track that he won at in July. Mark Johnston's Licence To Till has ground conditions to suit but is not certain to stay this far and of more interest may be Lucinda Featherstone's Maybe I Wont, who has won his last two starts, both here at Epsom, but is now 5lb higher than last time. Urban Space has been running consistently well but looks booked for a place at best off his current mark.
