Verdict

Cases can be made for plenty but the most persuasive is for SURE AND STEDFAST, who has been shaping up well this season and Ewan Whillans' 4-y-o can go one better than his recent Hamilton second. Heading up the threats is Big Win, who built on the promise of his seasonal/stable debut effort to open his account at Chepstow 3 weeks ago and should have more to offer. Jujubella and It's Only Fun complete the shortlist.

1	Shaping up well this season and weas back to his best when second of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (13f, good) just over 3 weeks ago, possibly finding himself in front a bit soon. Nudged up 1 lb for that and he looks ready to add to his tally. 1st Pick 1 Sure And Stedfast (Ire) Jockey: P. J. Mcdonald Trainer: Ewan Whillans J: P. J. Mcdonald T: Ewan Whillans	100	-	-	-	12%	8/1

5	Low-mileage sort who built on promise of seasonal/stable debut effort to open his account in 9-runner handicap at Chepstow (1½m, soft) 3 weeks ago. 5 lb rise shouldn't be insurmountable and could have more to offer for new connections now that he's up and running. 2nd Pick 5 Big Win (Fr) Jockey: Luke Morris Trainer: James Owen J: Luke Morris T: James Owen	94	-	-	-	25%	3/1

6	Progressive when winning 4 times early last season. Yet to get her head in front this time around but got closer than previously in refitted cheekpieces when third of 4 in handicap at Hamilton (11f) on Thursday. Not out of things. 3rd Pick 6 Jujubella (Ire) Jockey: Darragh Keenan Trainer: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore J: Darragh Keenan T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	99	-	-	-	10%	10/1
