    Verdict

    Adorata, Archerfield and Resplendent King are the three we like in the finale with the nomination given to Adorata. The selection ran well enough behind Shifty Night at Southwell last time and with the step up in trip sure to suit he is taken to score. Archerfield ran well behind Burgundy on this track last time and with conditions to suit he should give our selection plenty to do. Resplendent King has been running well of late but he will need some respite from the handicapper before he starts winning races again. Of the remainder, Quarrymount is worth a second look in the market now that Sir Mark Prescott's string have started to fire, but for the winner we return to Adorata.
