        Verdict

        Qaasi won well last time and he looks the percentage call to follow-up; the list of dangers is headed by Chart Oak and Santera. The selection is fairly moderate but this is not a strong contest and if he can run up to the form he showed last time here when he beat Classic Blue then he can go in again. Santera didn't appear to see out this trip last time when finishing behind our selection so it is hard to see her reversing the form. Chart Oak is one to note in the market as has run well here in the past, but he has not been seen on the racecourse since June so he may be sharper for this outing. Smoothie is woefully out of form and is hard to recommend, and we will return to Qaasi as the one to beat.
