      Verdict

      Veteran Good Egg beat joint favourite Vasco Du Mee over 3m4f at Cocklebarrow last month and may come out best again. But the returning PACHA DU POLDER is fancied to give former Olympic cycling gold medalist Victoria Pendleton a winner on her first ride under NH Rules. The pair were just beaten between the flags at Milborne St Andrew at the end of last month and it will be disappointing if they can't go one better here. Can Mestret is probably the pick of the remainder.
