        Verdict

        Ryan's Future can land this seller at the main expense of Grooms Affection and Cavallo di Ferro. The selection got a little revved up before the off here last time but he wasn't beaten all that far and he showed enough that day to make him the one to beat this afternoon. Grooms Affection was pulled-up at Huntingdon last time but he returns to the level this afternoon and this is much easier than the handicap he had previously contested at Kempton. Cavallo di Ferro is another eased in grade and he has won a handicap here in the past so he is not without hope in this company. Barry Island is racing over his best trip today but he was a little disappointing in a claimer last time. This is not a race to go overboard about, but Ryan's Future looks a solid bet and he gets the vote.
