      Verdict

      Slam, Once A Gulch and Barliffey are the trio to concentrate upon and we offer another chance to Slam. With placed efforts in Newbury, Doncaster and Newmarket maidens, he offers the best form of those to have faced the starter and as a result, his price is likely to reflect that accordingly. Once A Gulch has a distinctly American dirt pedigree. The market will give us a clue as to his chances on introduction. Barliffey has shaped as if we'll see more for the step up in trip. He was moderately way on more than one occasion last term. Paint The Town Red did not too many supporters ahead of an inauspicious debut. Ainia is a half-sister to Expensive so the trip should suit. Augmentation and Milne Bay will qualify for handicaps after tonight's endeavours. Slam is our selection in the finale.
