    Verdict

    It's hard to make a decent case for either Morestead or Red Anchor and the remaining trio share similar profiles. Towcester winner Wicklewood failed to cope with a 10lb rise last time but Worcester winner The Omen made a better fist of a hike in the weights when second at Plumpton last month. The latter should be thereabouts but the vote goes to GIZZIT, who found only one too good over 2m at Southwell having won well over today's trip at Stratford earlier.
