        Verdict

        Paktolos gets the verdict in this tricky looking contest, Kyles Prince and Nawow are just two of many dangers. The selection is trained by Alan King who demands every respect when sending his runners out on the flat and this son of Dansili has the form in the book. He chased home Daring Affair over nine furlongs at Wolverhampton in January and is expected to improve for the step up in trip. Kyles Prince returned from a two month break in good form, finishing runner up to the odss on Rapid City. A similar effort today would see him go close. Nawow and the two Gary Moore runners, Nawamees and Altihar are all capable of winning in this type of company as is Sgt Schultz. So with this in mind we advise caution when betting here but we will give a narrow vote to Paktolos.
