      Verdict

      The vote here goes to Kinrande ahead of Mahmjra, Stancomb Wills and Duroob. Much as Kinrande has been raised nine pounds for winning at Warwick, he confirmed his progressive nature with that victory and it will be disappointing if he does not run well today. Mahmjra is very consistent, and tough also, attributes that will stand him in good stead today and he can go well. Duroob has not really built on his Doncaster second to Come On Jonny in March, but at least he has been dropped in the weights now and holds claims based on that form. Stancomb Wills finished behind Duroob at Sandown in April but has since won a maiden. However, even though his stable is in good form, he probably will have to pull out a little more to score. Karlu also hails from an in-form yard and this progressive type ran well when third to Chocolate Caramel at Leicester last time, although it will be interesting to see how he goes over this longer trip. An 11-pounds ratings rise for his Bath win was Aylmer Road's reward, but he is the type to take to this track and does look to have improvement in him and can also go well. Overall, though, we will side with Kinrande.
