    Verdict

    Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Swords, Noble Mind and Nebraska City and the tentative vote is given to swords. The selection was very disappointing on his first run of the season his first after a break. He was entitled to need that run and from a good draw and under conditions that suit he is taken to bounce back to form. Noble Mind rates the main danger as he hails from a yard in top form and was a fair fifth behind Macaroni Gold last time granted that was a seller but this does not look much better and he could run well at a price as he is sure to strip fitter here. Nebraska City is another that could go well despite top weight he was a fair fourth in a better race last time behind Homebred Star. However his best form is over a shorter trip and for that reason he is passed over. Debs Broughton is another with place claims on her latest third behind Danettie but she is becoming hard to win with. Of the remainder The booking of Paul Hanagan for Intended catches the eye and he is another to note in the market but in a desperate affair where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Swords.
