        Verdict

        Neither Weaver Of Dreams or Northern Ruler make much appeal on their debuts so this will probably go to one of those with racing experience. The best form is probably held by the Alec Stewart-trained Night Games on the evidence of a staying on third behind Striking Ambition at Nottingham. However, a subsequent disappointing effort, admittedly in better company, at Doncaster tempers enthusiasm. Tim Easterby's Alder Park, who is entitled to improve, Vespasian from the William Haggas stable and Mary Reveley's consistent Spitting Image are others to consider but the afore-mentioned Night Games should be too good for these and he is the TEAMtalk selection.
