      Verdict

      This is a shocker and any result is possible. Back By Midnight had Master Wickham well behind at Doncaster last time but was still beaten more than 30 lengths and had shown little previously. Gaye Memories reappears only three days after finishing tailed off at Warwick while All Riled Up's form in bumpers and hurdle races amounts to little. Sammyman has his sights lowered but is very one-paced. WILLOW ISLAND has been placed in a couple of all-weather maidens on the Polytrack this year. He's nothing special but must be in the firing-line if the hurdles don't get in the way.
