      Verdict

      Bint Sultan can land the opener at the expense of Sforzando and Starcross Maid. The selection caught the eye when seen on her reappearance at Ripon when narrowly beaten by Hezaam. She is entitled to come on for that effort and if doing so can take all the beating. Sforzando will pose as the biggest danger and has been knocking at the door of late without getting her head in front. She finished three lengths third to Pine Cone at Newbury last time out and can go well again. As can Starcross Maid who has to be respected on her win at Southwell and her second at Yarmouth on her penultimate start so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Bint Sultan.
