      Verdict

      Intersky Charm, Dnata Flyer and Spinning comprise the shortlist here, with Intersky Charm looking the best treated and taken to score. Dnata Flyer lost his maiden tag at Musselburgh last time in dour fashion with nothing to spare. He looks a white elephant at a purchase price of $400,000 but this step up in trip should suit, although his stable has been out of form for a while now by their standards. Spinning has won four of his last six starts and enjoyed the fast pace at his local track, Thirsk, last time. He is only four pounds higher and with the second scoring next time he looks a major threat, although he has been off the track for two months and might just be race rusty. Intersky Charm was made favourite at Ripon last time but was run out of it in the closing stages having been delivered wide and looking like collecting. The in form Richard Whittaker camp have brought him back quarter of a mile in distance and he has run well twice over this distance previously, winning once. Running off the same mark as when a close second last time, Intersky Charm can return to winning form here.
