      Verdict

      A poor finale, with SARAH'S ART looking the pick, ahead of Forest Dane and Namu. A winner last time out in a better race than this, albeit for grey horses only, he has to give weight away to all bar Indian Skipper. He was an eye-catcher when returning from a mini-break and then followed that up with the victory, to make it two wins from three. Steff Liddiard is an expert at placing her horses, and this looks a good opportunity to land some further prize money. The high draw is a positive for him. Forest Dane and Namu are the only course and distance winners, but those wins came a way back. They're at the right end of the weights and come into this off competitive marks. Namu would be marginally preferred of the two. Magical Speedfit steps up in trip after staying on well last time after five furlongs. Dvinsky has won better races than this and off a higher mark, and usually gets involved. However, to land the lucky last we'll side with Sarah's Art.
