        Verdict

        King Darshaan, Distant Country and Ben Hur are the three we like here and the vote is given to King Darashaan. The selection was off the track for 19 months before his return at Salisbury last month. He won over today's course and distance last time when beating Esperance and he is difficult to overlook tonight. Esperance is respected though as he is better off at the weights here but there may still be more to come from our selection. Distant Country was well-backed when second behind Waterside at Epsom last time. However, he is not proven over tonight's trip and on that basis we will take him on. Ben Hur folded tamely at Chester last time but he had previously been running well and he looks to hold a solid each-way chance. However, King Darashaan is in good form and is given the vote.
