        Verdict

        A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Scriptwriter, Akarem and Camrose and the narrow vote is given to Scripwriter. The selection was a dissapointing seventh behind Group Captain when last seen but his stable were out of form then, he remains on a fair mark and with his stable back amongst the winners he looks the one to be on. Akarem rates the main danger on his latest second behind Mountain High but all his best form is on a softer surface and he is taken on with this in mind. Camrose was third behind Peppertree Lane last time and is another with place claims but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder Let's Roll is better with much more cut ion the ground and for the winner we are happy to return to Scriptwriter.
