      Verdict

      A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Expensive Art, Prince Of Delphi and Methaaly and the narrow vote is given to Expensive Art. The selection was a fair second behind Is It Time last time out when looking in need of the run, he is sure to strip fitter here and from a fair draw he looks the one to be on. Prince Of Delphi rates the main danger on his latest second behind Divinsky but his best form is over seven furlongs and he is taken on with this in mind. Methaaly is another that could go well on his second behind Rabbit Fighter but this looks tougher. Figaro Flyer is well weighted on his best form but is becoming expensive to follow. Of the remainder, Jilly Why won a shade cosily last time out but is stepping up in class but for the winner we are happy to return to Expensive Art.
