        Verdict

        An excellent line-up for this Group 3 sprint, in which Boogie Street and The Tatling were among those to be considered. However, the vote went to Majestic Missile. Boogie Street and Corridor Creeper should both go well if adjusted ratings are anything to go by, while Celtic Mill just has the edge over Texas Gold based on their recent Doncaster runs. However, Majestic Missile beat that last-mentioned pair by three lengths at Town Moor and, clearly in very good heart following that success, is selected to win again. TheTrader has proven himself competitive at this level, including when third to Benbaun at The Curragh last time, where last year's winner of this race, The Tatling, was second. The others have a few pounds to find in order to score based on official ratings but, all in all, in a smashing race, Majestic Missile just gets the vote.
