Verdict

Bachelor Party gets the confident vote here with Never Say Daya and Ektimaal rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Yandina last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and ghe need only run up to that mark to win this with a little in hand. Never Say Deya rates the main danger on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time out and is passed over with this in mind. Ektimaal is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Penryn he will appreciate the return to this shorter trip and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Zamharer showed promise on his debut but has not progressed as expected and for the winner we return to Bachelor Party.
