      Verdict

      SELINO (NAP) opened his account when upped to 1m6f at Redcar last time. Hailing from the family of high-class stayer and former stablemate Invermark, pedigree suggests this longer trip will suit James Fanshawe’s unexposed charge and he’s taken to go in again. Charlie D usually runs his race and has won over this far. He’s preferred to Toshima, who won over 2m at Ffos Las during the summer and is only 2lb higher. Sir Prize has been winning over shorter trips at Kempton this year and makes most appeal of the remainder with further progress possible racing over 2m for the first time.
