        Verdict

        A tricky seller and we will take a chance with Sovereignty, with Rudi's Pet and Edged In Gold just two of many dangers. The selection is from a yard amongst the winners and his most recent performance behind Further Outlook in a Hamilton claimer looks top form in the context of this contest. He does appear to be improving as well, which is more than can be said for most of these and he looks the best option. Rudi's Pet is no spring chicken but this former top sprinter still has plenty of ability and it would be no surprise to see this one take a hand in the finish. Edged In Gold has a bit to find with the selection on official ratings but has been running well of late and he cannot easily be dismissed. Of the others Mirasol Princess has recent winning form and is another to consider for place purposes, however Sovereignty looks to have the best recent form and he gets our vote.
