        Verdict

        A large field goes to post for this seller but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the principals look to be Sarraaf, Argent and Robwillcall and the vote is given to Sarraaf. The selection has plenty in hand on official BHB figures and he need only reproduce his latest effort which saw him finish third behind Cherished Number to win this. Argent rates the main danger as he is another that is well in on his best form and he was a fair fourth behind Prairie Law in this grade last time out, but he is becoming hard to win with and at the likely odds he looks worth opposing. Robwillcall was a fair second behind Linden's Lady last time out and is another with place claims but his best form of late has come on a much softer surface and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder, Jordan's Spark is from a shrewd yard and should run well at a price but for the winner we return to Sarraaf who looks to have plenty in hand.
