        Verdict

        Bold Diktator stands out as the one to beat and is preferred over Chia and Grey Boy. The selection won well last time when beating Imperial Lucky at Lingfield and his new connections seem to have found they key to getting the best out of him. He has a good draw and could prove difficult to peg back. Chia is the obvious danger as she was not winning out of turn here last time after finishing runner-up in four of her previous five races. Grey Boy will be suited by the step-up in trip and has to be considered from a good draw. Pab Special ran well last time and is another that could have place claims, but Bold Diktator has plenty in his favour and gets the vote.
