        Verdict

        With Luca Cumani's runners needing their usual pipe-opener, Pontefract winner Twelve Strings may be best watched on this occasion and the vote goes to WARFARE. He made a winning debut at Wolverhampton last month when beating a subsequent winner, despite showing signs of inexperience, and Kevin Ryan's charge is taken to follow up. Enery finally got off the mark when also scoring on Polytrack last time and he should figure again while Now My Sun was aimed high after winning his maiden here last July and is likely to be more at home in this company.
