        Verdict

        A few of these have handicap marks now and the highest rated is Savanna Days, who went close at Goodwood last time and looks a leading contender. Choisan is not far behind on official ratings and also posted a good effort on soft ground at Newcastle last time but the vote goes to HYPERLINK. He's found only one too good on his last couple of starts and, considering Mark Johnston has won five of the seven runnings of this race, is taken to open his account here. Rocktherunway looks best of the less experienced runners.
