        Verdict

        Stir Crazy, Ede's Dot Com and Drifting Gold are three against the field in this competitive nursery and the vote is given to Stir Crazy. The selection won well last time out when beating Kings Bastion, granted he has a penalty for that win but it looks as though he will get an easy lead and with this in mind he is taken to score. Ede's Dot Com rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Early Promise but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually archived. Drifting Gold is another that could well on his latest second behind Hucking Hope but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the remainder Merry Moon is another last time out winner that could go well but he has been done no favours by the draw and with this in mind for the winner we return to Stir Crazy who is taken to make all.
