      Verdict

      Only six go here but this is potentially a trappy contest and RAWNAQ is selected. Mark Johnston's gelding receives the three-year-old allowance and looks very well-in as a result. Recent efforts have suggested that he is crying out for this sort of trip and on ground that suits he can score. Stablemate Keenes Day is nicely treated on his form from the artificial surfaces, but is not as effective on turf. French Hollow, Bollin Greta and Rare Ruby all stay well and are not ruled out, though they do need to find a bit of improvement, while No Rules would want softer ground to be at his best. Rawnaq looks the one to be on.
