        Verdict

        MEN DON'T CRY ended last season with a string of placed efforts on the Polytrack. He can land this on his return if running up to a similar level as most of the opposition are struggling to find their best. Booktheband has yet to win but wasn't beaten far in fourth at Kempton last time and Richard Hughes' presence takes the eye while Zinnobar was placed in selling races last term but is 10lb higher today. Abigails Angel will take advantage of her slide down the weights before long and is worth noting for any support in the betting in an uninspiring contest.
