      Verdict

      Stellite holds Hebenus on running here in April and is taken to confirm that superiority with Danakim rated the best of the remainder. The selection has been running over further but, being by Pivotal, should appreciate the return to sprint trips and the cut in the ground. Indian Music is a consistent performer in this grade and should have no problems with the ground so has to be respected. He rates a bigger threat than Miss Wizz, who has given little sign of encouragement since winning a claimer at Newcastle in June although today's softer surface may help. Be My Alibi has claims on the pick of her form but would probably want a softer surface so a bigger threat may come from Danakim who ran well in a similar contest at York last time. Stellite looks interesting dropped in trip though and Jim Goldie's gelding gets the vote.
