        Verdict

        Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Bonus. Fromsong and Middleton Grey and the narrow vote is given to Bonus. The selection won well last time out when beating Further Outlook and although he has a penalty for that win he looks sure to have the race run to suit and he looks the value bet in an open affair. Fromsong rates the main danger as he also won well last time when beating Fyodor but this looks more competitive and he looks vulnerable off his revised mark. Middleton Grey is another that could go well but although he won last time out the second has since let the form down and he looks opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Green Manalishi looks weighted up to his best while Kostar is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Bonus.
