        Verdict

        Colonel Frank's last victory seemed to be lost under the congratulations for J P McNamara in steering him home without the assistance of his irons. Brendan Powell's charge had always been held in high regard prior to that victory and the fact that he beat another well-regarded horse in Desmond Tutu, makes him difficult to oppose here. Fair Prospect is selected as the danger. He ran encouragingly for Jeremy Glover in a race at Aintree last November and has now switched to Paul Nicholls. The Ditcheat handler has taken his time with him and given that he trains Desmond Tutu, he should have a fair line of form. Brewster invariably finds one-too-good for him and with the ground likely to be against him, we'll give him the swerve. Boardroom Dancer, Waynesworld and Therealbandit hail from stables who are capable of generating improvement from their horses and are duly watched in the market today.
