    Verdict

    A rogues gallery of the highest order and CALZAGHE is the pick with Rawdon and Tashkandi others to note. Calzaghe was entitled to need his first run since October and in fairness to him, he didn't put up a bad reappearance. He stays further than this trip and while not a frequent winner, he has exhibited less signs of temprament than most. Rawdon made a monkey of his supporters last time out although that didn't stop Gay Kelleway putting in a claim for ¿5000. Kylie Manser is recruited to try and humour a horse that is capable yet thoroughly untrustworthy. He will attempt to confirm form with Ebert. Richard Fahey's inmate travelled well in the aforementioned contest before failing to deliver when push came to shove. A drop in trip would probably suit. Tashkandi was tried in Group company in his younger days. Now a hurdler at lowly levels, his official rating may be unreliable. Richard Price is not adverse to running his hurdlers on the flat so watch the market with relation to Supsonic. Caltire does not win too often whilst the official figures suggest that Lawyer To World simply should not win. A headscratcher for punters and it could be Calzaghe that is capable of delivering a knockout blow to his rivals.
