      Verdict

      Dasheena, Kensington and Swift Cut are the trio to concentrate upon and we stick with Dasheena. Alan McCabe's charge is in rude health at the moment and she comprehensively disposed of "handicap good thing" Alto Vertigo at the track last week over this trip. Kensington isnt a frequent winner although the handicapper does at least appear to be giving the six-year-old a chance at the weights. The stable are sending out winners. Swift Cut was much too keen on his latest start although his turf form is relatively solid in comparison to others. Few could begrudge a victory for the veteran Paddywack but he doesn't always help himself by throwing in the odd tardy start. Run Free has been dropped a couple of pounds by the assessor and the confirmed front-runner is worth noting if the market speaks in his favour. Having considered the alternatives, it is difficult to oppose Dasheena and we shall not seek to do so.
