        Verdict

        Neshla is taken to land this at the expense of No Greater Love and Ruby Sunrise. Thye selection comes from a well respected yard in Clive Brittain. Neshla ran with great promise on his debut when finishing third at Southwell. Having said that he was very disappointing on his second outing when running down the field in a similar contest. If given the benefit of the doubt and able to put in the same performance as he did at Southwell on his debut then he would have to have a real chance. No Greater love has flat form in France and has run with credit over jumps recently. He was exposed though in a good quality contest at Newbury last time out suggesting he may fair better around the lesser tracks. Back at this level on the flat though he has to be respected. As does Ruby Sunrise who although winless after twenty four outings he ran well last time out to finish an eye catching third to Credential. If putting his best foot forward he is another worthy of respect. But for the winner we return to Neshla.
