    Verdict

    PELMANISM is the only recent winner on show although that success came over 6f here last week. However, today's opposition is that poor, Brian Ellison's charge may get away with today's longer trip on this occasion and he gets the vote. A few of these have won over track and trip in the past but none arrive in decent form. Delightful Sleep has claims on his form early in the year and Glenridding finished closer over 7f at this track last week though little separated him and Spirit Of Gondree here earlier in the month.
