        Verdict

        Another open affair with many in form rivals in opposition including Hugh The Man, Reap and Ofaraby and we will take a chance on Hugh The Man. The colt from the Nick Littmoden yard shaped as if the step up to this trip would suit when a staying on second behind Yorker last time and off what looks a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Reap rates the main danger on his latest win over Scramble at Ripon and he is well weighted here on that form but he has become very disappointing on the AW of late so we will oppose him on this occasion. Ofaraby is another worthy of consideration he is one of the least exposed in the field and his latest win over Skibereen at Lingfdield suggests he was going the right way. If he acts on this much different surface he will be a danger to all. Of the remainder Quiet Reading is sure to run his usually honest race but he looks to have plenty on at the weights and we are happy to stick with Hugh The Man
