      Verdict

      The last two winners of this race, Chookie Hamilton and Forrest Flyer, will do well to get into contention in this year's renewal, but the latter's stablemate Pokfulham has every chance. He went close when third at York a week ago and won over today's trip before that. However, PUY D'ARNAC was beaten only a length over C&D off a higher mark back in September and arrives here in fine fettle having won over hurdles last month. George Moore's gelding gets the vote.
