Verdict

Difficult to be confident about any of this bunch with the fourth of WHITE DEER over C&D in May looking the best piece of recent form. Geoff Harker's charge gets the nod dropped in class as his only victory since 2009 came in plating company. Catchy Tune was beaten three lengths in a handicap at Kempton earlier this year and has claims along with last month's Newcastle fourth Guga while Crimson Monarch can be given a chance on his recent placed efforts. Honest Deal has the past form to figure and may prove best of the remainder.
