Verdict

The shortlist contains Perfect Story, Born For Dancing, Campeon and Look Of Eagles, with the vote going to Perfect Story. Perfect Story makes his handicap debut after winning a Folkestone maiden and is given every chance as, for us, the form stacks up ok, while Born For Dancing ran well from today's mark on his handicap debut last time and gets a favourable mention. Campeon has been running well from around today's mark, including when winning at Brighton last time, albeit on soft going. He too should come into things, although the draw leads us to favour Perfect Story today. Look Of Eagles met trouble in running or he would have finished closer at Windsor last time, so he might yet be well-weighted. Many of the others are either below a winning mark or have so far been better on the all-weather, which returns us to the selection, which is Perfect Story.
