        Verdict

        Stoic Leader, Imperial Rule and Dudley Docker are three against the field in a competitive finale and the vote is given to Stoic Leader. The selection was a good second off this mark behind Mandarin Spirit last time out. This looks easier and from a good draw he will be hard to beat. Imperial Rule rates the main danger as he won well last time when defeating Mina but that was 167 days ago and he has yet to win over this trip so the suspicion is he will come on for the run. Dudley Docker is another that could go well on his latest second behind Pawn In Life but consistency is not his strong point and he is passed over for that reason. Desert Lover was unlucky in running last time and is another with place claims but he is best off a strong pace and as that does not look likely here he looks worth taking on. Out For A Stroll hails from a shrewd in form yard and should be closely watched in the market but Stoic Leader sets a fair standard and will be hard to beat.
