      Verdict

      Turbo gets the call over Torkinking, with Through The Rye and Touz Chez others to consider. Nothing stands out too much here, but Turbo's ability to handle testing ground makes him one of the leading players here. Successful at Sedgefield last season, he has only had two outings this term, both at Wetherby, and having shaped quite well on the latest occasion, will be fancied to go close. Torkinking looked one to follow on the odd occasion last season, but has looked a shade high in the weights and could do with some respite from the handicapper, while Through The Rye is always likely to pop up when least expected, but he too has a big burden to carry on heavy ground. Touz Chez will be better for the run and is one to watch when put over fences, and in a race of many ifs and buts, Turbo is the tentative choice.
