        Verdict

        Blue Nymph can boast a recent win over hurdles but both victories on the Flat so far have been on the all-weather and EIJAAZ makes more appeal. Geoff Harker's charge was giving plenty of weight to today's rival Lady Norlela when beating her a short-head in a claimer over C&D in October and re-opposes on better terms today. A recent run will have brought him on he gets the vote ahead of Always Dixie, who landed a seller over a longer trip here in September and Dubara Reef, who has done all his winning over 1m6f and further.
