      Verdict

      Kibitzer's experience earns him the vote ahead of interesting newcomer Always A Rock and Days Of Pleasure. John Hills's charge failed to deliver when attracting support on his first racecourse appearance but justified the money when only finding one too good the next time. He had Rio L'Oren 7 lengths back in third that day and should be able to confirm the form with that one. Always A Rock's connections ensure that he gets a second look and he's related to Amadeus Wolf but he was returned unsold when going through the sales ring and may be best watched on this occasion. Days Of Pleasure and To Bubbles have shown a similar level of ability but may be seen to better effect once handicapping and we'll stick with Kibitzer.
