      Verdict

      Marching Song gets the confident vote with Lama Albarq and Insignia rating the main dangers. The selection has plenty of experience and a reproduction of his latest effort which saw him finish second behind Motarassed should suffice here. Lama Albarq rates the main danger as he is obviously thought capable of better than he showed on his debut as he was sent off favourite on that occasion but he weakened quickly at halfway then. Although he is sure to improve he can not be backed with any confidence. Insignia is another worthy of respect as he was slowly away on his debut before staying on well. The step up in trip will suit and he is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Averting is bred to do better over a longer trip and for the winner we return to Marching Song.
