    Verdict

    All have a chance on the best of their efforts but it's all a question of who turns up on the day. Field of Vision finally returned to some form last time whilst Oeil De Tigre showed a good attitude to prevail at Chepstow under this rider last time. He looks one of the most likely on that evidence but CHAMPAGNE BOB is the most reliable of the quintet and also arrives on the back of a narrow Chepstow success this month. Trip and ground are OK and he gets the vote in receipt of weight all round. Miracle Garden has a chance on the level of his penultimate run but has yet to win on turf, whilst Sexy Legs displayed some fair form in Ireland for David Wachman but showed little on her first start for new connections when well beaten at Catterick.
