      Verdict

      Free Gift and Kaldouas make it onto the short list for this six-runner affair, with the vote going to Kaldouas. Kosmos Bleu has it to prove from his current mark in terms of winning, while Free Gift keeps paying for his consistency but this likeable type should give you a run for your money. Manly Money has a long absence to overcome but he is talented so watch the betting, while Kaldouas rates as an obvious contender being a lightly-raced Paul Nicholls runner that has certainly shown potential. In the absence of anything more substantial than that, he gets the vote.
