    Verdict

    Proschema has a decided fitness advantage having landed a Doncaster maiden on soft ground last month. That was over 1m2f but he stayed on strongly and shouldn't have a problem with the extra. That victory took him to a mark of 85, which is 10lb lower than that of LISHEEN CASTLE. John Quinn's colt made a successful debut in soft conditions at Hamilton and ended with a very good second in a Pontefract Listed contest. He cost 185,000gns last year and though the ability to stay this trip is unknown his overall form should see him home. Unwritten was 8l behind the selection when both made their debuts at Hamilton then about 6l behind on their final starts so he has plenty to do though his lone victory was on very heavy ground and any further rain would aid his cause. Citta D'oro hasn't shown much in two starts at Wolverhampton.
