      Verdict

      A tricky contest as both Homeward Strut and Umph make quick reappearances having ran well over C&D at the weekend. Both have a bit to find on today's terms, however, with Poker Hospital and FUGITIVE MOTEL. The former went close over 6f last season on more than one occasion but is a headstrong filly and has something to prove over today's trip while the latter also likes to race prominently though he has a fitness advantage which could make the difference today. Hans Adielsson's charge gets the tentative vote with Annie Walker and Guava looking up against it at the weights.
