    Verdict

    Nanton is hard to ignore in his current mood and gets the verdict ahead of Noora and Into The Breeze. Paul Cole's three-year-old is chasing a hat-trick following victories at Haydock and Nottingham. On both occasions he has won with plenty in hand and three from three looks a distinct possibility. Into The Breeze was a decent performer back in 2003 and will have needed his recent outing at Lingfield. If he retains most of his ability he should be capable of taking a hand in the finish. Noora is from a yard in cracking form and ran a race full of promise at Nottingham last time. She looks on a very fair mark and will be difficult to keep out of the frame. The best of the others could be Dafore, but Nanton still looks one step ahead of the handicapper and gets our vote.
