    Verdict

    Jakeini is taken to land the nightcap with Northern Chorus and Hypnosis put forward as the main dangers. The selection won well last time when beating Blazing Heights at Haydock. He won with a bit in hand that day and from a good draw here he sets the standard for the rest. Northern Chorus rates the main danger on his latest second behind Bahamian Duke but he is rising in the weights without winning and he looks opposable on that basis. Hypnosis was a fair second behind Lady Bahia last time and is another with place claims but he has had a few quick races and the edge may have been taken off him. Of the rest, Toy Top is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she looks in the handicappers grip at present. This is a trappy affair but for the winner we return to Jakeini.
