    Verdict

    SPORTING CHANCE is 10lb clear on official ratings and has drawn the inside berth. He's tackling this trip for the first time but wasn't stopping when scoring at Maisons-Laffite in September when today's rival Dream With You was a long way behind. His stable also run the unbeaten Trolius, whose three victories have been on Tapeta including a dead-heat in a Wolverhampton nursery. Shining Armor has won four of his last five, all on the all-weather, but only scrambled home in a Kempton nursery last time and a wide draw won't help. Woven made a very good impression when just holding today's rival Estihdaaf at York and the runner-up has boosted the form subsequently. Good Fortune won a novices' contest on fast going at Lingfield but was a bit disappointing when beaten at Sandown last time while it's difficult to know what to make of Irish Trilogy, unbeaten in three starts since his debut, though Scandinavian horses don't have a great record here. Magic Image was only beaten a neck by Turn 'n Twirl at Lingfield though the winner let the form down here last week.
