    Verdict

    Although Nashwan Star hails from a yard that can do little wrong at present and she can confidently be expected to handle the step up in trip, she does not do anything quickly and may be worth opposing with Red Crepe today. Gin N' Fonic has a little to prove on these terms to Sindy may be the best of the rest for now. However, Red Crepe has been crying out for a try at this sort of trip and her previous experience of the course could prove to be invaluable here. The daughter of Polish Precedent is obviously nothing out of the ordinary but will not be too harshly treated for a handicap future if she is successful today.
