        Verdict

        Course and distance winner HOLD FIRM usually runs his race which is more than can be said for the rest of this bunch. He finished runner-up here on his latest start and Mark Tompkins' colt makes most appeal. Gilmer was placed at the track off a similar mark earlier this month and can figure with a repeat effort while Weld Arab, a winner over 1m3f at Kempton, drops down in distance. It's difficult to find any worthwhile form to recommend the remainder.
