        Verdict

        Song of Songs, Shades of Beige, and Foursquare Flyer are the three that catch the eye here, and Song of Songs is taken to collect this prize. Shades of Beige did little wrong when finishing third at Pontefract but that was a disappointing outcome for favourite backers who had supported Mark Johnston¿s filly into odds-on. She can be opposed. Foursquare Flyer ran well on his latest start when chasing home Banba at Ripon and that form looks good with the winner following up. For the selection, though, we turn to Song of Songs. After a promising debut, James Fanshawe¿s filly ran with a lot of promise when finishing a close fourth behind surprise winner Cavallini, at Sandown. There were a number of well regarded individuals in the field that day and the form looks solid. Song of Songs can take this.
