        Verdict

        Telefonica, Big Bad Burt, Rumour and Dafina look to be the ones to focus on here with our vote going to Rumour. The selection absolutely stands out here, the only surprise being that James Fanshawe is running her on the all-weather. The feeling is that she must have had her problems because she has not been seen on the racetrack for 340 days. However, the horse that won on that occasion was Ice Palace, subsequently a Listed winner, so the value of the form is there for all to see, and she was beaten six lengths into third. Big Bad Burt has form enough on the all-weather and Turf to be good for a place, while Telefonica, a disappointing beaten favourite last time, hails from the Sir Michael Stoute yard so has to be firmly respected also. Dafina's credentials are that she is well-bred and showed form in Irish maidens before moving to Hughie Morrison. She was tried over 11 furlongs last time but now drops back to a mile and, overall, still has something to prove. Of the others, Go Free does at least have course form but it will be a touch disappointing if one of the three mentioned horses is not good enough to beat her. Of these, we are going to opt for Rumour.
