      Verdict

      Nazaaha gets the vote in this trappy affair with Boschette and First Rhapsody the pair we fear the most. The selection is from a stable in red hot form and she made a pleasing return to action when a decent fourth behind El Rey Del Mambo at Newbury. She is sure to come on for that experience and she is difficult to oppose in what looks a weaker race. Boschette improved on her previous efforts when dropped to this trip at Catterick last time but she was still well beaten and will need to improve to get competitive tonight. First Rhapsody ran well at Carlisle last time over 7f when narrowly beaten behind Whitethorne. The drop back to this trip should suit but she is probably at her best with cut in the ground so she looks worth opposing on this faster surface. Nan Scurry was disappointing on her debut but she is from a top yard so should not be dismissed lightly, but Nazaaha looks the clear form pick here and is taken to score.
