        Verdict

        A low-grade event and stakes are advised to be kept to a minimum but Lord Broadway comes here in fair form in the context of this race and gets a tentative vote. The Norman Babbage-trained gelding put a string of disappointing efforts behind him when runner-up over course and distance last time and should give another good account with ground conditions to suit. Pertemps has clearly had his problems and returns from a lengthy spell on the sidelines but has place claims if anywhere near his best while Spilaw has shown respectable form of late and is another to consider. Smart Guy is unpredictable but is entitled to go close if in the mood while Trumper shaped well last time and shouldn't be dismissed lightly.
