          Verdict

          Party Games, Grey Shark, Green Gamble and Soldershire are the three we like in the finale and the vote is given to Party Games. The selection ran well when third behind La Lambertine last time. He was well-fancied that day on his first start for Gary Moore and compensation could await for his supporters here. Green Gamble finished ahead of our selection in that race and he is clearly going the right way. However, Party Games has a handy pull in the weights and that should enable him to reverse the placings. Grey Shark ran well behind Rollo and this lightly-raced 5-year-old certainly looks to be progressing the right way. Soldershire ran well last time and he is another with place prospects, but for the winner we return to Party Games.
