        Verdict

        Prospect Court takes a step up in class after two comprehensive successes however this is tougher and we will pass him over and instead side with Pick A Nice Name ahead of Kenmore. Richard Hills takes the ride on the last-named; a jockey booking that catches the eye and may indicate that another big run could be expected. However, Pick A Nice Name handles this ground well and was very impressive at Pontefract last time out. Prospect Court has been winning poor races but full of confidence he cannot be ruled out off his low racing weight. Prince Namid has been disappointing of late; his tendency to start slowly tends to handicap his chances. Bo McGinty will win at some point, however it remains to be seen when that is; watch the market is the advice there. Ingleby Princess's wins have come on quick ground but she has run well on soft before so mustn't be ruled out assuming she has come on for that last run, however Pick A Nice Name is proven in the mud and can win again.
