        Verdict

        Zazous is selected ahead of Over To You Bert, Metropolitan Chief and Napoletano. Napoletano had failed to get his head in front in fourteen starts on the all-weather but he put that bogey to rest with a half length defeat of Metropolitan Chief with the selection a further head back in third. Napoletano is 2lbs worse off with the second and 3lbs with the third but has the capability to confirm the form if he enjoys the run of the race. That is far from certain though and he is deserted by Neil Callan who has opted to take the ride aboard Zazous instead. Seb Sanders is a top class replacement but Callan's decision sways the vote. Over To You Bert makes most appeal of the remainder but the handicapper appears to have him firmly in his sights now and he may have to settle for a minor role. In a typically tight heat, we're going to side with Zazous.
