      Verdict

      Alexander Nepotism gets our vote here ahead of Just A Dancer, Drastic Measure and Romantic Destiny. Brian Meehan's filly improved on her debut effort to chase home In Uniform at bath recently. She was backed off the boards that day and she can repay supporters this afternoon. Just A Dancer has to be a big threat as the form of here debut run has worked out pretty well. Meanwhile there are a couple of newcomers to watch out for in the betting, Romantic Destiny from the Kevin Ryan yard and Drastic Measure trained by Sir Mark Prescott. If the ground comes up soft the last named could be the better of the pair. Rocking is another interesting debutante, but on this occasion we will go with experience and plump for Alexander Nepotism.
