        Verdict

        SNOOKY was beaten over seven lengths when third at Newmarket last term but that's still better form than today's opposition have managed of late. He can score on his belated seasonal debut ahead of Vital Calling, who has the past form to figure but has been out of sorts recently. The remainder with experience have shown no worthwhile form though Never Forever may finish closer after a debut fifth at Doncaster and the newcomer Carla Allegra is related to a winner on soft ground.
