Verdict

A competitive contest gets Proceedings under way and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Fame,Say What You See and Nuit Sombre and the vote goes to Fame. The selection made a striking debut when winning in good style over course and distance. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and under conditions that suit he is taken to defy his penalty. Nuit Sombre rates the main danger as he was a fair sort on the flat and showed improved form to win on only his second start over hurdles. However he lacks the scope of the selection and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Say What You See is another worthy of respect on his best form but he was slightly disappointing behind Racing Daemon last time and that form has since been let down so he is over looked here. Priors Dale was a fair third on his debut and is another sure to improve but in a race where the market will be all important for the winner we return to Fame.
