      Verdict

      MOLKO JACK has never won off a mark this high but is the default selection in an ordinary contest as he's been taking on better opposition since the turn of the year and Ben Poste has steered him into a place in two of his last three starts. Red Whisper has shown nothing in two runs since last summer while Oranger is better over further. Kap West has an 18-month absence to overcome and Beauchamp Viking seems a light of former days but Khazium was second off a 3lb higher mark over course and distance in January so rates a danger.
