        Verdict

        Dante¿s Diamond, Sovereignty and Muzdaher will fight this one out with a strong vote going to the last named. Mark Johnsons horses have been in flying form at present and after being narrowly beaten on his first two starts on the racecourse he came good at Carlisle winning very easily and looks a progressive type and will prove difficult to beat this time also. Sovereignty will have his supporters after a convincing win at Ayr last time out when beating Love Angel by two and a half lengths. He quickened well that day and is worth nothing in the market. Another short listed is Dante¿s Diamond but he has been beaten into the winners enclosure in each of his last two runs and most latterly when sent off odds on and he may find one too good again here. So for the winner we return to Muzdaher.
