      Verdict

      Smart Instinct and Holdin Foldin fought out the finish of a conditions race at Ripon last Saturday and if they take part here they will be involved in the finish, however our idea of the winner is Not For Me. Tim Pitt's colt has shown progressive form throughout the summer, landing races at Wolverhampton and Chester, before running well in the Robert Papin in France. This represents a drop in class for this son of Mull Of Kintyre and he should be up to the task. Smart Instinct is unbeaten in two race and comfortably disposed of Holdin Foldin at Ripon. The runner up is three pounds better off and should get a lot closer, but Smart Instinct should again come out on top. Resignation was well fancied for the Supersprint and should appreciate this smaller field, however Not For Me was only beaten three lengths in that Group two contest, and that should be good enough form to win a listed event of this nature.
