      Verdict

      The remarkable Faraway Lady can win again, with Mysterium or Tass Heel the ones to fight out the runner-up spot. Luca Cumani's filly has proven a model of consistency this season and has won four of her last five races. She is likely to be a short price here to make it win number five. Capriccio's wins have come in a couple of hurdles, as have Hirvine's. Mysterium has won 10 races, the most recent of which was at Bath in July 2002 from a mark of 44 - and he now races off 46, so he could go well on only his third run of the campaign. Tass Heel hails from a stable in form but was 15 lengths behind the selection when they met at Pontefract in August, but is now 10lbs better off. His last three runs have been very modest but a return to earlier form gives him prospects of chasing the selection home. Cumwhitton and Royal Satin have very long absences to overcome and are very hard to fancy anyway. All in all, then, Faraway Lady looks to have been found another winning opportunity.
