        Verdict

        A modest opening race can go to course and distance winner Gizmondo ahead of fellow course and distance winner Magic Amigo and Kumakawa. Michael Bell's gelding ran well in defeat last time out at Nottingham for today's claiming jockey, and whilst he has to prove himself on ground this soft, a mark of 60 shouldn't be beyond him. The stable's horses are going well and he gets the nod. Magic Amigo needs to bounce back from a poor effort last time out on the all-weather and he has proven himself on soft ground before. Surdoue is woefully out of form at present, whilst Panshir is similarly out of form but would have a squeak on his best form. Kumakawa returns to the turf on a mark of 30 and if he can't win off this then connections will be depressed, however his old turf form hardly offers any reason for encouragement. A weak race, and Gizmondo gets the most tentative of nominations.
