      Verdict

      Many of these are very closely matched on ratings but Soaked, the only course and distance winner in the race, can follow up his recent Musselburgh win. A low draw is also an advantage in sprints at the track when the going is good or faster so the main rivals to the selection could well prove to be American Cousin, well weighted at best, and Desraya, who has been knocking at the door of late. Sholto has been found out since being raised for his Warwick win. Being a sprint with 17 declared runners, it's very competitive but Soaked could well provide the answer.
