    Verdict

    DO IT FOR DALKEY gets the nod with his excellent record fresh a major factor. Lucinda Russell's gelding only has won win to his name but it came almost a year ago on his first start of the season. This mark of 86 looks fair and the drop in trip will suit on his chasing debut. Manoubi is a fellow course and distance winner and he is respected with two solid runs this year to draw on, whilst top-weight Ocarina gets on well with Harry Haynes and the duo are respected for a canny trainer. Cloudmor and Cybora don't leap off the page on their return, and so a bigger danger might be the fairly-handicapped Paddys Unyoke.
