      Verdict

      NEPOTISM has the best form on show here and he is put forward to get the better of Pintura and Where's The Soap. The selection ran his best race yet at Windsor earlier in the month when he finished second behind Footstepsofspring. He has a decent draw here and if he can progress again then he should be hard to beat. Pintura has not been seen out since April, and although he has shown promise on his two racecourse appearances, he will need to show significant improvement if he is to get the better of our choice. This is not the strongest race in the world so it could pay to take the hint if Tom Dascombe's filly Where's The Soap is the subject of market support on her racecourse debut. Papageno has a good draw but he brought up the rear at Newmarket last month and he will need to improve to make his mark. This looks a good opportunity for Nepotism who can open his account.
