        Verdict

        This seems more competitive than the first division with Engrossing coming out best of those with an official rating ahead of Verse Of Love. Discression's placed efforts at York last summer looks the best form on offer, however, and he should be thereabouts at the finish along with Valley Of Destiny, who showed some promise on his recent debut at Lingfield. William Haggas has a decent strike rate at this track and he's represented by the newcomer PURSUE today. A brother to multiple winner Ensnare a chance is taken that the Cheveley Park-owned colt is good enough to score at the first time of asking and he gets the vote.
