      Verdict

      Silver Hotspur arrives here in good form but he looks worth taking o today and we will side with Denbera Dancer over Louisiade. The selection was having his first run on the fibresand when getting the better of Intersky Charm last time and there should be more to come. The slight worry is that the form of the race has since been let down but he looks progressive and gets our nomination. Louisiade is a consitent type and his last 3 wins have come at this venue. He can go well, although it should be noted that it was only a seller he won last time. Silver Hotspur finished third behind Exit Smiling here last time but he has never won over this trip so with this in mind he looks worth opposing. Wessex could prove best of the others, but for the winner we will stick with Denbera Dancer.
