        Verdict

        Morbick is confidently selected to take tonight's feature with Given A Choice and Kildare Sun seen as the most obvious opposition. Mark Brisbourne's charge has looked most progressive over the winter and while he probably hasn't beaten a lot, he has done the winning with a fair degree of style. Given A Choice has been prolific in claimers but it remains to be seen as whether he can cut the ice in handicaps. Cheekpieces are tried again. Kildare Sun made all to take a similar race last week. That was his first run for over a year so it is to be hoped that he does not bounce. Watchmaker has campaigned regularly at Kempton and switches to Wolverhampton for the first time. Timber Treasure was bought out of Henry Cecil's stable for 16000gns and makes a debut for Paul Green. A competitive little heat on paper but there looks as if there is plenty to come from Morbick and he is our confident recommendation.
