        Verdict

        Many of these are unexposed so caution is advised, but Kelamon has the form in the book and he gets the vote ahead Vital Tryst and Kassuta. The selection has shown promise in two races to date and his recent third behind the Mark Johnston trained Annemasse looks a very strong effort. There should be plenty more to come and he looks the safest option. The once raced Vital Tryst has a very good pedigree and hails from a pretty shrewd yard. It would be no surprise to see this one leave that first poor run well behind. Kassuta is returning from a bit of a holiday having chased home a decent type back in September. The stable are capable of getting one ready after a layoff so watch the betting closely. Wendy's Boy and Conorville are from top yards and are worth a mention, but Kelamon sets a good standard here and this one gets the verdict.
