        Verdict

        Some old rivals come are set to do battle again and there will be no measure for error if this goes to form. Therefore, Zarzu is only a tentative selection to hold Dancing Mystery, Justalord and Trinculo on these terms. Of the rest: Palawan is a consistent sort who has claims on the best of his form, but, like Law Breaker, he ran as if the handicapper has his measure last month and may need to come down in the weights before being confidently be supported again. Whereas Strathsclyde and Turibius have long absences to overcome and are likely to need the run. Beauvai has failed to beat a single horse home in his last three starts and he is also best left alone for the time being until he shows signs of a revival. Therefore, the selection process brings us back to Zarzu, who has always been at his best at this trip and has a strong chance of reversing recent form with the top weight on 4lb better terms today. No Time is also interesting back at this trip and is one who could go well for each way players at a fair price.
