      Verdict

      KAZBOW is an obvious choice and should be too good for them in the last, with Paint The Town Red and Locum the most interesting in opposition. The selection was a 1m 4f winner at Kempton in maiden company when last seen in November, having already shown up well in handicaps prior to that. This sort of trip looks ideal for him, and from the same mark of 72 we will take his fitness on trust and suggest a wager. Paint The Town Red stays much further than this, having scored over 1m 6f at Wolverhampton in February. He is just 2lbs higher today and acts on good to firm, so he might emerge as the leading danger. Locum races from the same mark as when scoring here on fast ground almost a year ago and he has run some decent races in defeat since then. He can go well enough when fresh and should not be underestimated. Moscow Oznick looks in need of another drop in the weights and Kazbow is selected.
