      Verdict

      Gig Harbour, Kabeer and Eccentric look the three to concentrate on in another competitive affair and the vote is given tio the last named. The selection has been in good form of late and although he was beaten behind Secret Place last time out he posted a fast time and off what remains a fair mark he will be hard to beaT. Kabeer rates the main danger he won well last time out when beating Lakota Brave but he has yet to prove he stays this far and for that reason he is opposed.Gig Harbour is another that could go well but his best form is over a longer trip and he looks weighted up to his best so he looks opposable on that basis. Compton Bolter has been unlucky in running of late and will appreciate the return to this trip and despite top weight he will not be far away. Of the remainder Tahtheeb is from a top yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Eccentric.
