      Verdict

      The heavy conditions will mean that the market will ensure particular significance in this contest. Shelini has a series of fair efforts in the book with a decent third in a Newmarket maiden over a mile. She doesn't look to be the paciest individual but there is plenty of stamina in the pedigree and some (but admittedly not all) of the Robellino horses can handle the conditions. Gerard Butler has reportedly commented that his Inchberry would probably need it softer and for this reason, we make her the Teamtalk selection. She was second to Richard Hannon's highly regarded Geminiani at Goodwood earlier this month and should have progressed for that effort. On breeding, Opera Knight could be the one to give her the most to do. The In The Wings colt looks sure to appreciate the surface and caught the eye when staying on in a decent Newmarket maiden. Sovereign Dreamer is hard to fancy over this trip while the others make little appeal.
