        Verdict

        Mark Johnston is obviously keen on bettering the fourth place he achieved in this race with Pie High last year and his Greta D'Argent may provide the key to what is only the second ever running for this Listed prize. April Stock and the bang in-form Alincala have to be considered as live dangers to the selection - although it would also be dangerous to write-off Dawnus without scouring the pre-race betting market for any signs of support. However, Greta D'Argent has the typical profile of a Johnston runner in that she has thrived on being kept very busy throughout the summer campaign. She has also given a good account of herself on several occasions and has paid her way with hard fought successes at Pontefract and Doncaster. She is ideally situated to nab a prominent position from her low draw and her gutsy attitude will be a crucial ingredient in the closing stages.
