        Verdict

        Salut Saint Cloud, Ballet Ruse and Rinneen are three against the field in a tough finale and the vote goes to Ballet Ruse. The selection has only shown a modicum of ability to date but with the big step up in trip sure to suit she will be hard to beat. Salut Saint Cloud rates the main danger but he has only ever won on the AW and he was very disappointing last time so for that reason he is opposed. Rinneen is another worthy of respect he has some fair placed form over 12 furlongs and he is another that may be suited by the step up in trip. Of the remainder Knight Of Hearts is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but he a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Ballet Ruse.
