        Verdict

        HUNTSMANS CLOSE was no match for the winner when runner-up over track and trip recently but still finished four lengths clear of the rest and a similar effort should see him thereabouts at the finish. First Excel was also five lengths behind the winner when third at Newcastle last time but finished in front of Kommander Kirkup and won this last year off today’s mark while Eponina was sent off favourite here recently but ran nowhere near her best when finishing well behind the selection. Satchville Flyer can race off a much lower mark on the all-weather while maiden winner Chez Vegas will need to improve on earlier efforts at the track.
