        Verdict

        Rotuma gets the vote here with Moyne Pleasure and Ma Yahab put forward as the main dangers. The selection ran well when a close third behind Smart John at Haydock last month. A reproduction of that effort should suffice here and as such he is taken to score. Moyne Pleasure will be suited by the step up in trip but he drifted in the market before being well beaten at Beverley last time behind Sennen Cove. He is not the most consistent and although he has decent place prospects, he may find at least one too good. Ma Yahab could be a bigger danger as he ran well on his seasonal reappearance when third behind Goblin at Beverley. He is still open to plenty of improvement, so he has to be respected. Compton Dragon could be the best of the remainder, but we will stick with Rotuma as our idea of the winner.
