      Verdict

      Zalkani ,Gallery Breeze and Dartanian look the three to concentrate on in this claimer and the vote is given to Zalkani. The selection has won his last two races in good style, notably when beating High Hope last time out. He remains on a fair mark and under conditions that suit he is hard to oppose. Gallery Breeze rates the main danger on his best form but he has yet to win over this trip and the suspicion is he may just need the run after a 256-day absence and he looks opposable on that basis. Dartanian showed little last time so can not be put forward with any confidence while Tennessee Belle is from a yard in form but her overall profiler leaves her with little to find and with this in mind for the winner we return to Zalkani who gets the confident vote.
