      Verdict

      Russian Sky gets the confident vote here with Basilea Star and Acceleration rating the main dangers. The selection is game and consistent goes on any ground and won well last time out when defeating Mighty Fine. That form has since been franked and despite his penalty he is taken to win again. Basilea Star rates the main danger on his best form but he was let down by his jumping last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Acceleration is another worthy of respect but he was tailed off when pulled up last time and is another to have doubts about and in a poor race. The remainder have shown virtually nothing and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Russian Sky.
