      Verdict

      Our principal three are Indian Wizard, Ten Shun and Tafilah, with the vote going to Indian Wizard. On certain formlines, many of these are fairly closely matched, including Ten Shun, Indian Wizard, Noble Edge and Tafilah, with Inaminute and Cool Isle looking held on recent efforts. Tracing those formlines leads us to favour Indian Wizard, who beat Ten Shun by a neck in a Lingfield Park mile seller two runs ago and who is now five pounds better off. Much as we feel that Ten Shun can go well over this shorter trip, we will side with Indian Wizard on the above basis. Interestingly, Chookie Windsor is five pounds better off for the just-over-a-length that the selection beat him at Musselburgh over seven furlongs in October, and now racing at a shorter trip than he ran over last time could help Chookie Windsor's cause today. Tafilah, who is generally consistent, is also respected, while Aysgarth Flyer, who is not an easy ride, is capable of going well. Finally, Inaminute had shown promise before disappointing behind Noble Edge last time, and first-time headgear might show Lady Palma Nova and Tolinis Girl in a better light but, for the selection, we will stick with Indian Wizard.
