        Verdict

        A few of the old suspects on view and Maiden Investor might just be the answer to this conundrum with Beck and Zabeel House the obvious opposition. Maiden Investor is not very good and won his last race off a mark of 40. That said, he had put in a good run behind Ninth House, earlier in the month and that level of form would entitle him to major claims. Beck squandered yet another chance on Thursday. He invariably runs on at the death. Zabeel House did not show a lot for the application of a first time visor. Blackbury reverts from running in plating hurdles while Sky Chart has to be watched in the market for any signs of confidence. Espejo returns from absence while Winged Farasi has struggled to trouble the judge in the past. A moderate finale and Maiden Investor is no more than a token selection.
