        Verdict

        Plenty with claims including top weight Rulesn'regulations and last month's C&D winner Cut Across. Fayr Fall scored at Southwell last time but was beaten only a length here before that and is another to consider though both of Noble Jack's earlier course wins came over longer distances. Elegant Muse is upped in class and Restless Bay has done all his winning over shorter trips so the speculative vote goes to HAFTOHAF, who will need to improve on last month's C&D victory in a maiden, but has plenty of scope to do so.
