    Verdict

    Scotmail Too is selected ahead of Time Marches On and Windy Hills, while Prince Adjal is respected and completes the shortlist. The last named goes well here and is in good heart at present. Dougie Costello knows what it takes to coax a win out of the six-year-old and the partnership can make the rest aware of their presence today. Windy Hills acts with cut in the ground and, as an unexposed individual, he should be monitored closely in the betting. He does have a long absence to overcome though and may just be better for an outing to the racecourse. Time Marches On deserved his success at Carlisle last month and remains interesting on these terms. However, his best efforts have come on right handed courses and he needs to be at his best in this company. Therefore, we prefer to take a chance with Scotmail Too, who shaped up nicely on his recent seasonal debut. The form of his Wetherby run is working out well and a repeat effort will make him hard to beat here.
