        Verdict

        A desperate race here but something has to win and the main protagonists look to be Bold Indian, Skye But N Ben and Terry Molloy and the vote is given to Bold Indian. The selection won well when last seen in this grade and although disappointing on his last two starts, that has been in handicap company. He has conditions to suit here and from a good draw he looks the one to be on. Skye But N Ben rates the main danger as he is another returning to his winning grade and he will appreciate this better ground. However he would be better off at the weights with the selection if this were a handicap and he is taken on with this in mind. Terry Molloy is another worthy of respect on his best form but all his best efforts have come with more cut in the ground. Blue Madeira is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but Bold Indian gets the vote to minimal stakes.
