      Verdict

      MARKET PUZZLE won at Haydock last month and gets the vote. He finished third behind My Mate Jake, who runs in the first division of this contest, in an amateur race at Redcar under Becky Brisbourne last time and a repeat would be good enough to score here. Harare and Guga are not the most consistent but have claims on their best form, while Talk Of Saafend has been placed for today's amateur in the past. Rockweiller makes most appeal of the remainder.
