        Verdict

        This is Louisiade's level and he gets the nod, ahead of Crafty Fox and Rafferty. The selection comes here looking for a hat-trick in these selling contests and could take this off just a 4lb higher mark than for his last win. Kevin Ryan has his stable in good form at present, and despite being yet to prove himself on this artificial surface, he looks the solid call. Savoy Chapel is running off a mark of 44 and having won off 67 before, he must have each way claims if on a going day. However those are infrequent these days so he is passed over, along with Crafty Fox who is consistent but possibly on too stiff a mark. Nikki Bea drops down in grade and must be respected as the only course and distance winner in the race, whilst Ruffie should appreciate this slight drop in trip and remains of interest. A poor contest though, and we will return to the horse in form, Kevin Ryan's Louisade complete the hat-trick.
