      Verdict

      A small field goes to post for the first on the card and the principals look to be Bodfari Creek, Can't Be Scrabble and Sparking Water and the confident vote goes to Bodfari Creek. The gelding from the bang in form Paul Webber yard has won his last two races in good style and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat despite his double penalty. Can't Be Scrabble rates the main danger on his best form but he was pulled up last time and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Sparkling Water is another worthy of consideration he was a fair fourth behind Feel The Pride last time but he needs to improve,[prove again to score. Of the remainder Rose Tea is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with Bodfari Creek.
