      Verdict

      Sky High Guy looks the best option here ahead of Lester Leaps In and and Benbrook. Syvester Kirk's colt has shown his best form over this trip, having finished an excellent third behind Katchit at Salisbury last time out. His has flopped on the two occasions he has tried twelve furlongs, but as a result he is now down to a decent mark. Lester Leaps In has to have everything drop right but he has managed a victory this season, beating Golden Sprite over this trip at Bath. Ground conditions are in his favour again this afternoon and he should make his presence felt. Benbrook gained a deserved victory at Nottingham recently and should go well despite his rise in the weights. Westering Home should prove best of the rest, but we return to Sky High Guy for our selection.
