        Verdict

        A very trick sprint event and Danakim is just a token selection, Bunkhouse and Ela Figura may also play a part in the finish. Danakim hasn't raced since October when a very promising third over six furlongs at Ayr and his form here at Southwell last spring is as good as anything else on show. He wasn't beaten far in a couple of competitive sprints and if fit should give a good account of himself. Bunkhouse has been turned over in a couple of Wolverhampton banded events recently but has run well here in better company and may be good enough to reach the frame. Ela Figura is consistent in this sort of company but does need to show improvement to actually win this event, however she may manage a bit of place money. Royal Nite Owl can also be given a squeak on bits and pieces of form, however Danakim has strong claims on last seasons efforts and just gets the vote.
