        Verdict

        Aahaygirl is back in more sensible company so needs respect, however Red Baron Dancer has a top draw and gets the nod ahead of Alphabeth. The selection won on his third start here at the Roodee last month. His two previous runs were full of promise and he should have absolutely no worries about the return to this trip. Trap one is ideal for a front-runner and he will be hard to peg back. Aahaygirl heads the weights here and doesn¿t look that well-treated off a mark of 81. She will appreciate the easier company but this daughter of Choisir doesn¿t look a superstar. River Dee won well last time but connections had to splash the cash to keep him and the pressure is on to recoup some of that loss, whilst Alphabeth is surely going to be happier on this better surface and her run behind Carnaby Haggleston looks rock solid. Hawkspur looks the type to do well in Nursery Company so warrants respect as a Hannon two-year-old, whilst Kingswinford has had enough chances. A tough heat, where Drachenfels may well improve for the blinkers, however it is Red Baron Dancer who looks like one of the bets of the meeting.
