        Verdict

        Barking Mad and Yenaled stand out here with the vote going to the former. With the rest of the field not rated within 25 pounds of the two mentioned, surely we can trust ratings for once in a claimer. And of the two, Barking Mad might just be able to control things today, and the bottom line is that this is his level and he has shown enough recently to suggest that he ought to be hard to beat. Much as he has been disappointing of late, Yenaled was running well at this time last year, and a repeat of that form would see him make a race of things. Overall, though, Barking Mad gets the shout.
