        Verdict

        At first glance, with 16 set to do battle, you might be forgiven for giving this one a swerve, but three stand out. They are Mana Pools, Ville de Paris and Final Faze. The latter has been up against useful opposition and improved for the step down in grade when second at Salisbury. That will have done her confidence the world of good. Mana Pools, having been touched off in a claimer here, then went one better at Nottingham and will go close to following up. However, Ville de Paris is improving with every run and should be noted. He is four pounds better off with Mana Pools for the less than two lengths that seperated them at Colwick Park, and that should be well enough for him to turn the tables.
