        Verdict

        Roc Tredudon, Inmate and Lampion du Bost are three against the field in a wideopen affair and the narrow vote is given to Roc Tredudon. The selection looks well weighted on his best form, goes well fresh and with his yard back amongst the winners he looks a value bet. Inmate rates the main danger on his latest second behind James Bay but that was in a seller and this looks tougher. Lampion du Bost is well weighted on his best form but has shown little of late so he cannot be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder, Lily Tara and Mae Moss are game and consistent and are sure to run their races but they look vulnerable to better handicaped types, and for the winner we return to Roc Tredudon, to small stakes.
