        In depth

        Verdict

        Namoos is the pick over Royal Citadel, Wendals and Tender Process. Namoos made quite a promising debut when third over six furlongs at Goodwood last June but has not been seen out since then. She has obviously taken time to come to herself, and John Dunlop's filly now returns to the fray over the same trip. On breeding she should improve over a mile, but if straight enough here, the daughter of Sahm looks the one to beat. Royal Citadel was only beaten close home here last October and is another that will come on for the run. She has a bit more experience than the selection but her form is perhaps not quite as good. Wendals is also a lightly raced sort with potential, and again we are guessing as to whether she will be straight enough today. Tender Process was a close sixth at Nottingham recently but looked nothing special, and in what is a bit of a guessing game as regards the rest, Namoos gets the most tentative of votes.
