      Verdict

      Rated 81, Never To Be stands out on today's terms. But it's a surprise to see him in this lowly grade on his first start since March and he's taken on with the in-form GREEK ISLANDS. The latter completed a double in December when scoring here before recording a cosy win at Chelmsford. Moonlight Venture has every chance at the weights and so does Oak Bluffs, a winner at Ayr in September. The veteran Al Muheer rattled up a hat-trick of plating races at the start of last year and is not out of this either.
