        Verdict

        A real mix-and-match bunch here with the vote going to Arry Dash over Wizard Of Edge, Desert Hawk and Waziri. The selection's stable may not be in the best of form but this gelded son of Fraam acts with cut in the ground and is now eight-pounds lower in the ratings than when scoring at Windsor last April. A return to something like that level of form should see him go close today. Wizard Of Edge has been hurdling of late but showed form on the Flat prior to that in a light campaign. Do not rule out a good run from him, while Phred won from a four-pound higher mark at Chepstow last September and acts with cut in the ground, so he too must be on the shortlist. Desert Hawk was a beaten favourite last time so is clearly thought capable of better, and Didn't Tell My Wife has been knocking at the door from his current mark of late. Waziri looked good when beating Hazyview at Goodwood in June but has disappointed twice since, including when tried over 14 furlongs last time. He too could go well but, for the selection, we return to Arry Dash.
