      Verdict

      Pabusar's winning run came to a close last time and this looks a couple of grades too high for him. The remaining five are all solid sprint performers who win in their turn and it's all a question of who's spot-on for this assignment. Desert Ace has been far from consistent over the past year but is talented at his best whilst Love Island hasn't won for a while now. Silvanus and Singeur are admirable veterans who continue to rake in the prize money but there's little between the pair here and MUKAYNIS is just preferred. Kevin Ryan's gelding gives the impression he's still on a steady upward curve and hopefully can take another step up the ladder with this stiff finish expected to suit his late challenge tactics.
