        Verdict

        STUDFARMER comes out best at the weights and arrives on the back of an easy win in similar company at Leicester. He beat a couple of previous winners with plenty in hand on that occasion and David Evan's charge makes more appeal in this than the returning Liliargh and Takealookatmenow. The remainder are hard to fancy unless First Serve improves for the return to Turf and it doesn't bode well that Rose Of May makes her debut at this level.
