      Verdict

      The last two starts from Sound And Vision have been vastly improved and he is worth persevering with at this level. Missie Baileys, Ghaill Force and Merrymadcap are others to place on the shortlist of alternatives. Merrymadcap has ability but does need to prove that he conclusively gets the trip, though. The market is likely to be a good guide to his chances. Ghaill Force is unexposed and shapes as if he can pick up a small handicap at some point. However, he too has something to prove regarding the trip and this may just prove to be a fact finding mission with him. Missie Baileys will be better suited to this trip and can go close again today. However, she was disappointing last time out and needs to find improvement today. Therefore, we go with Sound And Vision, who has far fewer questions to answer on his recent profile. A mark of 60 looks fair for what he has actually achieved and this appears to be the best opportunity that has come his way for quite a while in his bid to rid himself of the maiden tag.
