        Verdict

        Ardea Brave is preferred to Ariodante and Dahman. Ardea Brave has not always looked to be the most willing of partners in a battle but she kept on well enough at Kempton Park and with Marco Botti's team in good heart, it would be no surprise to see her go close. Ariodante has been running creditably on turf and is watched in the betting on all-weather debut. Dahman has shown glimpses of ability previously but has had training troubles. Godolphin aren't known for having too many handicappers but a mark of 80 could be harsh on what has already been achieved. Trifti is a regular scorer on the all-weather but today's trip is something of a leap in the dark. Pass The Port is on return from absence but is a previous winner on the track. Finished Article finally got her head infront after a long absence from the winners enclosure but this will be a step back up in class. Ardea Brave is accordingly nominated.
