        Verdict

        El Rey Del Mambo is interesting having shown promise on his only start as a juvenile but has been off since then and Gerard Butler's string remains fairly quiet so preference is for Dart Along, who gets the vote ahead of Nice Tune. The last mentioned has the highest rating of these owing to his length fourth behind Hearthstead Wings in a Listed race as a juvenile but nothing in his form subsequently suggests that Clive Brittain's filly will be good enough to beat the selection. Rubies showed promise as a two-year-old but lacks a recent run, while Primarily has been placed in lesser quality races of late and is likely to find this tougher. The remainder make limited appeal and the vote goes to Dart Along, who is taken to fulfill the promise of his recent outing behind Jalissa at Salisbury.
