        Verdict

        Ancient Cross is thrown in on past form but doesn t seem the force of old. Sleepy Blue Ocean is also getting a bit long in the tooth but did win two runs ago, though is one of six previous course winners in this. Rita s Boy beat KEEP IT DARK less than a length at Nottingham last week with Elusivity a close up fourth. Tony Coyle s charge appears best at the weights today and though he s never won on this surface he has been placed so gets a tentative vote. Pontefract third Luiz Vaz De Torres looks the pick of the remainder, though Even Stevens could bounce back to form at any time having tumbled down the weights.
