        Verdict

        Dutch Uncle and Sheila's Buddy would both have decent claims in this if able to translate recent all-weather form back to Turf and they make more appeal than the likes of Buckland Beau, Gaelic Silver and Top Diktat, though the latter did win this two years ago. Nayel was in good form last summer and should go well if fully wound-up but WEETLES is equally unexposed. Clive Cox' filly won over a mile here in October and she did even better shortly after on soft ground over this trip when only beaten a length off a mark of 79 – she has only 2lb more to carry this evening. Alcatraz may also have more to come and looks best of the rest.
