        Verdict

        Mister Marmaduke takes a big drop in class and gets the vote ahead of Tuscan Dream and Elliot's Choice. The selection has plenty in hand on official BHB ratings and, provided that he reproduces something like his best form should be too good for his rivals today. Tuscan Dream has been running with credit in banded stakes races of late but this looks tougher and of greater interest is recent Lingfield winner Elliot's Choice, although he will not find it easy to give weight away all round. American Cousin is not as good as he once was but David Nicholls has his string in good form at present so the 10-year-old cannot be discounted in this company, while Panjandrum holds solid place claims but may again have to settle for a minor role. Proud Western and Awarding are others worthy of a mention but Mister Marmaduke has plenty in hand over his rivals and gets the vote.
