      Verdict

      Seek The Cash, Miss Kitty Grey and AJJAADD make up the shortlist, with the tentative vote in a bad race going to the last-named. The selection was well-backed last time out at Kempton but could only manage a one-paced second to Zegna. However that horse has since franked the form and this well-bred 70-rated gelding can get off the mark. Kalligal is rated 38 and was beaten in selling grade when last seen, Lunaticus has beaten one rival home in four starts, whilst Starwatch has been in consistent form in some average handicaps but his mark has fallen from 70 to 59 indicating his ability. Seek The Cash is more interesting; the form of his run behind Freddie's Girl has been franked by the winner since and from a good draw he looks interesting. The only other one to mention is the 59-rated Miss Kitty Grey. She ran her best race to date behind Mr Boss here last time out and the booking of Joe Fanning takes the eye. Not a race to dwell on, but preference is for Ajjaadd.
