      Verdict

      Glamorous Spirit and SMOKEY RYDER both come here in good form, and it is the last-named who gets our vote. Gary Moore's gelding searches for the hat-trick today and whilst he has more to do at the weights, the way that he won last time means that further improvement can't be ruled out. Glamorous Spirit was also a claming victor last time when making all at Kempton over the minimum trip and coming from a shrewd yard, were we to see sustained market support then it may pay to take note. Red Cell didn't show much last time on his first start for Ian McInnes, whilst a visor is tried on Our Wee Girl in order to bring about some improvement and perhaps some consistency. Lady Master's career has been stop-start so far, whilst the consistent Barnezet and the less reliable River Rye both have the ability to play a hand in the finish. Competitive stuff, but Smokey Ryder can win again.
