      Verdict

      Lord Buffhead went close in soft ground before winning by the narrowest of margins at Musselburgh last time and should figure once again while Economic Crisis is usually thereabouts without being good enough to get her head in front. ROCK CANYON could only manage third over 6f here last time but had scored over C&D last month and this doesn't look any tougher despite a 5lb higher mark. He gets the vote with the remaining trio hard to fancy on what little they've shown to date.
