        Verdict

        MOODY TUNES is in great heart and he can call the tune here over the likes of Middlemarch and Fremen. The selection has won his last two races and the manner of his most recent success suggests that there could be more to come. He has conditions to suit and he can complete the hat-trick. Middlemarch disappointed off what should have been a competitive mark at Ascot last time and off the back of that effort he is hard to recommend with confidence. Fremen won well at Musselburgh last week and he should be competitive in this grade. He has got course and distance winning form and the yard are in decent form so he is worth considering. Ask Dan won a seller over this course and distance last time, but he is a quirky type and it is hard to be too bullish about his chances of following up. A tough race to call but the vote goes to Moody Tunes.
