        Verdict

        Lord of The East,Mystic Man and Ali Bruce are three against the field in this claimer and the confident vote is given to Lord Of The East. The selection has won his last two races in good style and as he escapes the penalty for his latest win over Mehmaas as it was an apprentice race he looks the one to be on again. Mystic Man rates the main danger as he also won well in this grade last time out when beating Yakimov but his best form is with slightly more cut in the ground and for that reason he is opposed. Ali Bruce is another with place claims as he is dropping in class and hails from a shrewd yard so he should be closely monitored in the market. Of the remainder Greenwood is another that could go well at a price but he has a little to find on official bhb figures and for the winner we return to Lord Of The East.
