Verdict
The trickiest race on the card rounds off proceedings and jockeyship will be all important as usual in this type of race, but the principals looks to be Moscow Dancer, Gargoyle Girl and Nautical Star, and we will side with the last named. The 8-year-old was a fair third in a seller under similar conditions behind Sting Like a Bee last time, and with a reproduction of that effort, he will not be far away. Moscow Dancer rates the main danger and he won well last time out on this course when defeating Joint Authority. However, he has shot up the weights and that might just find him out. Gargoyle Girl is also worthy of respect, as she is game and consistent and was a fair fourth at Haydock last time behind Celebration Town. She has got definite place claims on that form but doesn't get her head in front too often. Of the remainer, Star Trooper could also go well despite top weight as he was a good winner last time and the softer the ground the better for him, but in a race full of inponderables, we will stick with Nautical Star.
