        Verdict

        It is hard to get away from the chances of Power Politics, who is given a confident vote to beat the newcomer Naqi and Formal Decree. Saaed bin Suroor appears to have found an easy opportunity for this son of Seeking The Gold. He made a very pleasing debut when chasing home Race To The Music at Lingfield, and with improvement almost guaranteed he should be capable of taking this modest event. Naqi is trained by Willie Haggis and looks the part on paper being by Cadeaux Genereux out of six furlong winner Farha. She should know her job first time out and any money for this one would be of interest. Formal Decree was slowly away when ninth to Romantic Evening on his debut at York and should improve for the run. The others make little appeal and so Power Politics appears to have an easy task and gets our vote.
