    Verdict

    Abbeygate should be the answer to this tricky contest; Mucho Loco and Future Deal are also considered. The selection was a beaten favourite last time but he had previously run well when third behind Bernabeu at Lingfield. He has a good draw today and we believe he can make it count. Future Deal was also a beaten favourite last time but she had gone well over this course and distance prior to that so she has to be considered. Mucho Loco ran well in a better race than this last time but all his best form is over further and on that basis we will take him on. Christian Bendix has the worst of the draw which will make life tough, and we will stick with Abbeygate who can return to winning ways.
