      Verdict

      A few of these have something to prove returning to action but Searching would certainly have a chance on the pick of his form and Chieftain's Choice is still capable in this grade. Mabela won over 2m3f at Taunton in November but we’ll take a chance on NORTHERN BOUND, who led until approaching the last over this course and distance in February and has been dropped 2lb since. Hasankey is the least exposed but doesn’t look particularly well treated with Mantovani preferred.
