        Verdict

        Neshla gets the vote here over Over To You Bert and Sahara Prince. The selection ran well last time when chasing home No Greater Love at Southwell and as this progressive filly should also be suited by the drop in trip she is taken to land the prize. Over To You Bert rates the main danger as he has been knocking on the door of late and he ran another solid race last time when only beaten a neck by Saucy. However, all his wins have come over a mile and for that reason he is taken on. Sahara Prince will be a danger to all if he is given an easy lead, especially with the talented Neil Callan on board. If he can get to the front from stall 8 then he should go close. Danum represents a stable and jockey that do well here and as this horse also likes it here he has to be considered. However, we will stick with Neshla as our choice to lead them home.
