        Verdict

        Crocodile Bay gets the confident vote here with Celestial Princess and Suits Me rated as the main dangers. The selection was a little disappointing in a Listed race in Germany last time, but his third in the Chesham Stakes at York behind Championship Point is the best form on show here and if he can run up to that level tonight he should take plenty of beating. Celestial Princess disappointed at York for no apparent reason last time but she had previously won well at Carlisle. The suspicion is that she may need a little more time before she is seen at her best and on this occasion we will take her on. Suits Me, a colt by Barathea, made a pleasing debut when winning a Thirsk maiden beating Just Observing. His trainer Julian Poulton rates him quite highly and it would be no surprise to see him run a big race. Think Lucky was well beaten on his debut at Hamilton but this colt from the Mark Johnston yard is sure to improve for the run and for the winner we will stick with Crocodile Bay.
