Verdict

Verdict

DOUBLE TALKER looks the one to beat after finishing a respectable third the last time out and has been consistent in allowance company. Military Cruiser finished runner-up over C&D last time and merits consideration. Twilight Delight won over C&D on debut and could prove dangerous despite stepping up in class.

Top Tip: Double Talker (9)
Watch out for: Military Cruiser (3)
