      Verdict

      This looks a match between Seguidilla and El Palmar and the confident vote goes to Seguidilla. The selection would be hard to beat if he could reproduce his last run of last season behind Orphenberry over five furlongs. He disappointed on his debut this season when well beaten over six furlongs but he is sure to have come on for the run and with the drop in trip sure to suit he will be hard to beat. El Palmar rates the main danger he was a good second on his last run last season behind Bo McGinty and if he is fit after an absence he will not be far away with Kevin Darley taking the ride. Of the remainder Lady Of The Links has shown a modicum of ability and could run well at a price but for the winner we return to Seguidilla.
