        Verdict

        Arctic Echo gets the confident vote here with Neidpath Castle and Whistle Blowing rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind One Sniff last time out that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to score. Neidpath Castle rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Perfect Punch but he has had plenty of chances without taking one and again he looks vulnerable.Whistle Blowing is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Nobody's Perfect but all her best form is on a faster surface and he is opposed for that reason. Of the others Allegedly So would have a chance on his best form but has not progressed as expected and for the winner we return to Arctic Echo and will be hard to beat.
