        Verdict

        Sohraab appeared to have no excuses last time out and so cannot be fancied today. Instead the vote goes to Morniqua ahead of the plethora of last-time out winners. The selection was entered in the William Hill Trophy at York which was then abandoned and connections will be hoping to gain some recompense here. This filly has the most amazing turn of foot early on and James Given's runner was a game winner last time out at Beverley and shapes as if there is still more improvement to come. Makshoof, Bertoliver and Fathom Five all scored well last time out so all need respect, however the pick of those appears to be Fathom Five who has really appreciated the drop to five furlongs and will appreciate any rain that falls. Dress To Impress returns from a break and cannot be ruled out if freshened up, however Monrinqua looks progressive and can win again.
