      Verdict

      Go On Green gets a narrow vote in a wide open finale, Fabuleux Millie and Sohraab appear to the best of the others. The selection has earned top-weight with some excellent efforts this season, including a success on the all-weather at Wolverhampton. His defeats have been in stronger races than this and he has to go close this afternoon. Fabuleux Millie landed two out of three contests last season and the lack of a recent run shouldn't be a problem. She is lightly raced and starts this campaign on a decent mark. Sohraab has been in great form this season, but could be in need of a dop in the ratings before winning again. Nordic Light could be the best of the rest, but our idea of the winner is Go On Green.
