        Verdict

        The Game looks a rock solid bet in this contest; the list of dangers is headed by Storey Hill and Another Socket. The selection ran well when chasing home Soopacal last time out over 5f, but he is better over this extra furlong and he should run a big race. Storey Hill has a good draw and Derek Shaw's 3-year-old should give our selection the most to think about. He ran well well over the minimum trip last time but he is probably better over 6f. Another Socket is a course and distance winner and she has the plum draw, but she has been off the track since November and she may be sharper for the run. Ten Down and Joss Stick are both in good form and they look to hold solid place prospects, but this looks a good opportunity for The Game who is taken to score.
