        Verdict

        Distant Country hit winning form last time and can follow up today at the expense of Far Note and Mission affirmed. Karl Burke's gelding beat the good yardstick Fulvio over this trip at Wolverhampton in game fashion last time and dropping into selling company must have strong calaims again this afternoon. Far Note has a similar level of form as the selection and is rated accordingly. He will be a tough nut to crack today. Mission Affirmed is really well in here on official ratings and if he was a more consistent performer he would probably get the vote. However he disappointed last time big style and is not one to trust. Resplendent Prince was an impressive course and distance winner last month and may do best of the others, however the current form horse is Distant Country and this one gets a narrow vote.
