      Verdict

      Coiste Bodhar, who won this two years ago, makes a quick reappearance after a moderate run over 6f at Southwell on Monday. His earlier form over this trip on Turf would give him an obvious chance of gaining his 13th career victory. FOXTROT KNIGHT doesn't win often but mainly competed at a higher level last season with a narrow defeat in a Class 3 at Ayr the highlight. He'd be very difficult to beat if in anything like that sort of form. Mr Strutter won three races for John Quinn last summer, all on fast going. But he was out of form on Tapeta over the winter and might find the ground too testing. Zapper Cass, who has changed stables, won a better race than this from a higher mark at Nottingham in June but that was over 6f and he struggles to go the pace over the minimum.
