      Verdict

      A fairly tricky race to solve but Four Amigos might just solve the puzzle, but don't rule out a big run from Princess Kai. The selection is dropped back to five furlongs here after two lacklustre efforts at six. It is expected to suit and he might just be well-handicapped now that his stable is back in form. Princess Kai has been quite highly tried in the context of this race and it would be nos surprise to see her go well. Only If I Laugh has been very busy this year and is closely weighted with the maiden Marysienka, who is from the same stable as Tregarron. The last-named has a chance if returning to the form of his second to Cape Trafalgar in July. Benbaun has won two of his last three races but has been raised 15lbs for the last of these, an easy win at Redcar. Ardkeel Lass looked promising on her debut but hasn't progressed. That said, once again don't be shocked to see her go well. A Bid In Time is up against it from 10lbs out of the handicap. Once again, then, for us it all points back to Four Amigos.
