      Verdict

      Bedouin Blue gets the confident vote here with Meadow Mischief and Baltic Princess rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Peppertree Lane last time out. That form is rock solid and he looks the value bet in an open affair. Meadow Midschief rates the main danger on his latest third behind Alessano but he has been done no favours by the draw. Baltic Princess is another worthy of respect on her latest fourth behind Forthright but she has had plenty of chances off similar marks and again looks vulnerable. Of the remainder, Jack Dawson looks weighted up to his best while Sporting Gesture could go well at a price but would not want any more rain and for the winner we return to Bedouin Blue.
