        Verdict

        Grasp gets the confident vote in this desperate seller with Better Moment It's The Limit rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Rawaabet last time out, he looks sure to be suited by the step up in trip and with his yard in form he looks the one to be on. Better Moment rates the main danger on his latest second behind Quick but that was over a longer trip and he is very hard to win with and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. It's The Limit is another worthy of respect as he is dropping in class but he is another that is hard to win with. Of the remainder Night Groove is unexposed over hurdles and could improve but for the winner we return to Grasp.
