        Verdict

        The short list here consists of Nando's Dream, Fossgate and Pass The Port, with the selection being Nando's Dream. Much as it was not strong race, Nando's Dream's course and distance win last time may have understated her ability and she can prove the point today. The course and distance winner Heathyards Pride is only two pounds above a winning mark and cannot be ruled out. Despite being five pounds above a winning mark, Fossgate gives the impression of being able to compete from that mark, while Pass The Port has also dropped back to a winning rating and, despite the fact that he has been disappointing in his last couple of runs, has to be considered. Back at the track at which he last won, Newnham might be able to get amongst things again, and you can build the case for Stretton, who has been running pretty well of late. Finally, Supreme Charter has been disappointing of late which, in turn, spins us back to the seldction, Nando's Dream.
