        Verdict

        LADY NAYEF notched-up a treble at the turn of the year including a win over course and distance and was placed in this grade here last time. She may have enough to hold off the attentions of Dungannon once again though the latter is not easily dismissed. Captain Lars failed to cope with a penalty on his latest outing having scored over track and trip on his penultimate start and the same comment applies to Archimedes. Crosse Fire has done all his winning here and can bounce back at any time having won off much higher marks last year.
