      Verdict

      Hope Road has some useful form to his name and is fancied to oblige today; Quelclasse and Haar could be the two to chase him home. The selection's third behind I'm So Lucky last time out reads fairly well in the context of this race and he won't mind any rain that is forecast over the weekend. Previous runs behind Metaphoric and Sweetheart also look solid and given his speed from the flat, this track could be right up his street. Flying Grey hasn't lived up to his name yet but he does have more experience than his rivals, whilst High Profit needs a check in the betting on his debut over sticks. Quelclasse ran well behind Osolomio on his debut and seeing as the winner has won again since, the form stands up fairly well. L'Homme De Nuit takes a massive drop in class and is obviously well thought of, whilst Haar would have a good chance against the selection having finished in front of him on their Metaphoric run, however ours looks to have improved since. An open race, however we fancy the chances of Hope Road.
