    Verdict

    This is likely to be fast and furious with both Ei Ei and Lord York taking each other on. However, that could play into the hands of the hold up horses Ivanoph and Running Man, with the latter getting the nod. Ei Ei is a bold jumper, who appears to act on all types of ground, while Lord York loves to hear his feet rattle, something he may not get with all of the rain around. Ivanoph isn't sure to last home on this stiff track, with the likely strong pace, so a chance in taken with the unexposed Running Man, who comes into this a fresh horse and will have an added bonus in the shape of Mick Fitzgerald.
