        Verdict

        There are plenty of duck eggs here which means sifting out the winner should not be too hard. Mick Channon's Tass Heel showed improved form at Yarmouth to finish second on his return to a mile and six furlongs, but the fact remains that he is still without a win in 11 starts. Fast Cindy is also still a maiden, and could not quite score in a weak event at Yarmouth last time, while Decisive looks very one paced but shaped quite well when stepped up in trip at Sandown. All in all, the TEAMtalk selection has to be Affaire d'Amour who did not get the best of luck in running at Goodwood in what was a better class affair than this. Prior to that Sir Mark Prescott's charge had reeled off a hat-trick of wins, and although none were extra special, he should still be good enough to defy topweight.
