      Verdict

      None of these have managed to win so far this year but several went close on their latest starts including Red Warrior. The latter found one too good at Windsor while Nakeeta was beaten less than a length when third at Ayr recently with Merchant Of Dubai back in fifth. But the vote goes to NONCHALANT to reverse earlier running with the latter pair having subsequently gone close at this venue. Rated 90 on his first start for David O'Meara back in April, he looks set to score off his current mark.
