        Verdict

        Liquid Lover gets the confident vote here with Bill Bennett and Alqaayid rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Surdoue last time out. That form has since been given a boost and in what looks an easier race he is impossible to oppose. Bill Bennett rates the main danger on his best form but he was very disappointing over two miles last time out. The return to this trip should suit but he has had plenty of chances and is becoming expensive to follow. Alqaayid was behind the selection last time and there is no reason why he should reverse placings on these terms. Of the rest, Pharoah's Gold is on a handy mark but has yet to prove he stays this trip and in a race where few can be fancied for the winner we return to Liquid Lover.
