    Verdict

    Nawamees, Noble Minstrel and Looks The Business are the three to focus on here and the vote goes to Nawamees. The selection won in this grade last time at Wolverhampton when beating Easibet Dot Net. That was an emphatic success and he looks capable of scoring again to complete the 4-timer. Noble Minstrel disappointed last time but he does hail from a yard that like a tilt at the ring and if there is strong support then it could pay to take the hint. Looks The Business went close in a claimer here back in August but his overall form leaves him with a bit to find today, and this looks a good opportunity for Nawamees to continue his winning streak.
