      Verdict

      The Nifty Fox is given a narrow vote in a wide open finale, Foxy Music and Inspainagain are also running well and can give the selection plenty to think about. Tim Easterby's charge on the face of it looks high enough in the weights, however he has been progressing well all season and on a track that suits another big run is expected. He looks to be up against either out of form rivals or runners that are in the handicappers grip. Foxy Music is the exeption as he won with a little bit in hand last time and should go well again despite a five pound rise. Inspainagain has been bumped up six pounds since his last run and will find things difficult today. Ishetoo could prove best of the others, but The Nifty Fox is expected to to return to winning ways and he gets our vote.
