    Verdict

    Robert Walford trained last year's winner but Brody Blue's fitness will have to be taken on trust as he hasn't raced since falling when favourite at Warwick last March. Somchine's recent win at Wincanton is easily the best form and he'll probably take some stopping from only a 5lb higher mark but MARIE DES ANGES' second at Lingfield was her best run for a long time and she's handicapped to win this if back to her best. Ulis De Vassy has won off a higher mark but recent efforts have been disappointing on the whole, though he still makes more appeal than Here's Herbie.
