        Verdict

        Here Now And Why is sure to have his supporters here but we prefer the claims of MISTER HUGHIE who is nominated over Six Diamonds. The selection beat Six Diamonds last time out and we are confident he can confirm the form today. He has now hit a rich vein of form and on these terms we see no reason to oppose him. Six Diamonds ran well behind our selection at Newmarket but she was no match for the winner and she may have to settle for the silver medal again. Here Now And Why is a lightly-raced colt and he has been running in some hot company. He was outclassed in the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood back in July but this looks to be more his level and he has to be respected. Ignatieff won over this course and distance in decisive fashion last month to register back-to-back successes. He had gone eight races without scoring prior to that and this looks a tougher race so he will need to improve to win. We will stick with Mister Hughie as the pick.
