      Verdict

      Sualda holds very solid claims here and gets the vote ahead of San Deng and Easibet Dot Net. Trainer Richard Fahey saddles the thoroughly genuine Sualda for the 51st time in the seven-year-old's career and the gelding runs over his optimum trip. He has not won since August 2004 at York, but has a strike rate of one in seven and has run twice as many times as that since that latest success, so a win would not be out of turn. His fast ground effort behind Nordwind at Thirsk last time gives him every chance and off this mark he can score. San Deng receives 11lb from the selection but is 3lb higher than when runner up at Catterick last time and will find this a little tougher, while Easibet Dot Net is a c&d winner who has won off 1lb higher than today's mark and is not in bad form at present, so is not overlooked lightly. But we have to narrow things down to one choice and that is Sualda.
