        Verdict

        A few of these are in the last chance saloon - most notably the well-bred pair King Creole and Tianella. Both have struggled to show their ability on the racetrack and are consequently passed over here. Alnahda has the best chance of landing this event on the evidence of her run at Beverley in August. Slowly away and still showing signs of greenness there was plenty to like about the way she stayed on in the closing stages and TEAMtalk make her the one to beat. Ravenglass has just had the two runs in 522 days. His last effort at Windsor was encouraging following a long lay off and should give the selection most to do if his trainer has him right. A market move for the well-bred Katmandu would be a positive though he has obviously had training problems on the evidence of this late first appearance. By Sadler's Wells, he should handle the surface.
