      Verdict

      There is very little between many of the leading lights in this contest but the principals look to be Makarim, Jackie Kiely and Moon Shot and the tentative vote is given to Jackie Kiely. The selection won well last time when beating Moon Shot and although that rival is better off at the weights here the selection won with a little in hand and under conditions that suit she is taken to win again. Makarim rates the main danger on his latest third behind Bid For Fame but that race was a very muddling affair and it is hard to get a true line on the form so at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Moon Shot is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but although he is better off with the selection than the last time they met he still has a little to find. Bulberry Hill is another that looks sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best while Next Flight is on a handy mark but he has yet to prove he acts on this surface and with this in mind for the winner we return to Jackie Kiely.
