Verdict

In a tricky race, we will side with Good Judgement over the likes of Tribal Dancer, Moustique de L'Isle and Major Benefit. Tribal Dancer's stable is in good form and, although disappointing of late, there is no doubt that he is well weighted on his early 2004 form. Moustique de L'Isle looked an improver at Newcastle last time and, lightly raced, holds claims. Golly is six pounds above the mark of his Taunton win in April 2004, but others are preferred today, while Good Judgement is surely better than his well-backed Wetherby run last time. He has to be seriously considered. Major Benefit comes into it based on his novice efforts last year, while Tom Fruit's Sedgefield win and Carlisle second at the end of last season fully entitle him to respect. Overall, though, we will give another chance to Good Judgement.
