    Verdict

    Three-year-olds have a reasonable record in the race so the progressive SECOND CUT looks the one to be on as he was well clear at this trip before just hanging on over an extra furlong here earlier this month.Exotic Guest is in cracking form and a 5lb rise for his comfortable victory over the track and trip doesn't look harsh. Kenny The Captain has four career victories to his credit - two of them here - all on ground with some give so any rain would enhance his prospects. Most of Tango Sky's victories have been on ground with give or the all-weather but Classic Flyer seems best on faster going.
