        Verdict

        An open sprint as the majority crop up in their turn but it's pretty difficult to predict when they are going to do so. Dream Composer should be suited by this stiff track but the feeling persists he'd prefer another furlong, although he should go well. Ventura Express has won round here before for a yard that does so well with handicap sprinters and made a nice reappearance after a break, whilst the likes of Dark Shot and Seneca Chief could certainly get involved if on song. However, TAR HEEL ran his best race for a very long time at Ayr recently and could go really well if in the same mood, especially in receipt of considerable weight all round and first-time cheekpieces.
