        Verdict

        Blink and you'll miss the 'Dash', in which Repertory, one of four course and distance winners in the contest, can gain career win number 13 at the expense of last year's winner Rudi's Pet. Unsurprisingly, he was no match for Airwave at Sandown last time out but, with a good draw here, can make amends. Had the lightning-fast Dubaian Gift been better drawn he may have got the nod but the selections main dangers could well be last year's winner of the race, Rudi's Pet. Atlantic Viking should reverse form with Kathology on these terms based on their c/d runs in April, while Bishops Court - another c/d winner - could well get some place money, but Repertory is selected to end up in the winner's spot.
