    Verdict

    Orange Square, Silver Deal and Bahamarama make most appeal in this seller and the vote goes to Orange Square. Richard Hannon's colt should be too good for these lot and he chased home Wee Buns at Kempton last time out. This drop in trip is a big plus for him as he hasn't quite been getting home over 6f and he rates as a confident choice. Silver Choice ran well at a big price at Southwell last time which was an improved effort, but she will need to step-up on that and show further progression if she is to get her head in front. Bahamarama brought up the rear in a handicap at Southwell last time but a combination of an ease in grade and a drop in trip should see her in a better light today. Derek Shaw has had a good time of things of late but it will be a surprise if Captain Crooner is good enough and we will return to Orange Square who should be a cut above his rivals.
