        Verdict

        Official ratings suggest Usain Boat is the one to beat though he hasn't run to anywhere near his opening mark after scoring at Newmarket last May. The Lamplighter, who is rated 4lb lower, has to concede 8lb and appears best on the all-weather while Hellovaqueen was running poorly when last seen in the autumn. Hard Solution is very moderate and ran poorly at Ripon last week so in a bad contest it's TROTTER who gets the vote as though he ran moderately at Chepstow his earlier head defeat at Windsor would put him in the frame.
