      Verdict

      Ginger Princess is an interesting contender however preference is for ALBERO DI GIUDA ahead of Hallingdal and Romantic Verse. The selection made her UK debut last time out at the track but she was un-fancied and failed to make much of an impact. However she should have come on for that first run after a break and this multiple winner is surely better than we saw last time; her mark has edged down to 75 which may not be enough, but nevertheless a big run is expected. Hallingdal ran well in defeat last time and will be suited today if there is a better pace on, whilst Romantic Verse is a course and distance winner and she is now just 3lb above her highest winning mark. Leading Edge has four wins to her name but they have all been over shorter and today's trip must be a slight worry, so a bigger threat may be Montiboli who represents a trainer who is at the top of his game at the moment. A tight handicap, but the longer trip may see improvement from top-weight Albero Di Giuda who is selected.
