        Verdict

        Hit The Switch and Positivity won over C&D earlier this year but both were well beaten behind Koo And The Gang here last time. A line through the latter gives Elusive Warrior every chance but he's done all his winning over 7f and ON THE CUSP is preferred. Richard Guest's charge scored over track and trip in February and gets the vote to return to winning ways back on the Fibresand after a poor run on turf last week. Tomintoul Star and Marino Prince could prove best of the rest.
