      Verdict

      Game On, Romany Dream and Lorient Express are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the vote goes to Game On. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out when defeating Kansas City and although he is rising in the weights and dropping in trip he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Romany Dream rates the main danger on his latest second behind Cetti's Warbler but that was a novice race and he may find these experienced handicappers to fast for him so he is passed over on this occasion. Lorient Express was well fancied last time out but was brought down at the seventh.However if he puts in a clear round he will not be far away. Found Gold would have a chance on his best form but he has been let down by his jumping of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Spreewald is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but he needs to improve on all known form to trouble the principals and for the winner we return to Game On.
