      Verdict

      Tredegar, Social Rhythm and Sagredo are three against the field in this trappy affair and the narrow vote is given to Tredegar. The selection won well last time out when beating Well'come with plenty in hand. Granted this looks tougher, but he looks a progressive type and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again. Social Rhythm rates the main danger as he won well on his debut when beating Call Me Rosy and he is sure to improve but has yet to prove he stays this far, and at likely odds is taken on. Sagredo is another that could go well as he won well last time when beating Sivota but this looks tougher and his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Of the remainder Youbetterbegood and Johannesburg Cat have shown very little and are readily opposed, and for the winner we return to Tredegar to small stakes.
