      Verdict

      A case can be made for most of these with Sebastian's Wish appealing as the potential pace angle and having won here three times this term. Tawdeea has been hit and miss this term but is weighted to be competitive if anywhere near his best. Kensington Star and Great Fighter have had busy campaigns which may be catching up with them but both seem to like it around here.. YORKIDDING won off this mark in May having earlier finished second in the Chester Cup. She looks better handicapped than most in this and more tactically versatile. The stable have a good record in this race and she is a worthy selection.
