        Verdict

        The Daley Express won at Goodwood recently with previous course and distance winner Eastern Star behind. Foreseeable Future failed to land a hat-trick off today’s mark at Beverley last week but ELECTRIC LOVE posted a better effort at Yarmouth last time in first-time cheekpieces and gets the speculative vote to return to winning ways. Blissful Song has been in good form over 6f and Van Gerwen could pop-up at any time.
