      Verdict

      SOMMERSTURM has looked high enough in the weights of late but this an easier opportunity. Runner-up in an amateurs' race over track and trip in December, he gets a tentative vote to come out best in this company. Galiotto has won over course and distance, though that was back in 2011 and he hasn't scored since but Waving has made the frame over shorter trips on a couple of occasions this month. He's preferred to winning hurdlers Hail Tiberius and Lac Sacre, who have yet to win on the Flat.
