      Verdict

      Morinqua has the outside draw here so could therefore be worth taking on and we will do so with The Nifty Fox who is preferred to Obstructive. The selection is from a stable in form and he has been well boxed in stall 2. He scored impressively last time at Ayr, he goes on the ground and he should take plenty of beating. His chief rival Obstructive is also well drawn and he was only beaten a short-head by Sundae last time at Newmarket. He has ground conditions to suit but he is rising in the weights as a result and he is probably best watched. Fish Called Johnny is better than he has shown of late and he could go well at a price from the plum draw. However, with the form pick Morinqua likely to struggle from his wide draw, we will side with The Nifty Fox to lead them home.
