Verdict

Division two of the seller can go to Sharp Hat, with Emperor Cat, Star Lad, Turf Princess and, possibly Royal Windmill and Otylian rated the biggest dangers. Sharp Hat was fifth behind Nicholas Nickleby (who runs in an earlier race on the card) over course and distance two runs ago, showing a bit more of his old self. Much as he hasn't won for a year, he could play a part in this modest heat. Royal Windmill returned to form here over seven furlongs last time, although he did not suggest there that a drop in trip was the ideal answer. Penel's reasonable maiden run here last time means he should be given the once over, while Emperor Cat's best recent efforts have come on this surface and his only other run in cheekpieces was fair. Being course and distance winners, the top three, namely, Polar Haze, Star Lad and Turf Princess have all to be considered, with their best efforts giving them claims, although Polar Haze meets the selection on worse terms than for finishing nearly two lengths behind him when they were behind Nicholas Nickleby last month. Otylia made late headway here over five furlongs last time and might be open to improvement at this trip, and Calusa Lady improved from July of this year and, if taking to the surface might go well, but Zak Facta has become disappointing. In conclusion, then, the vote goes to Sharp Hat.
