        Verdict

        Brave Hawk gets one last chance to get his head in front with Ace of Spies and Irish Artist rating the main dangers. The selection was nailed on the line when second behind Mischief Making last time out, that form looks solid in the context of this race and although he is not the hardiest of battlers he is taken to score. Ace of Spies rates the main danger on his latest third behind Nortune but he often finds less than expected off the bridle and again he looks vulnerable. Irish Artist is another that could go well on his latest second behind Tenjack King but consistency is not his strong point. Crystal Spirit has shown promise in the past and hails from a shrewd Irish yard so should be watched in the market while Landikhaya has had plenty of chances and for the winner we return to Brave Hawk.
