      Verdict

      This looks a trappy contest and our vote goes to One Night In Paris, who is narrowly preferred to Ninth House and Inside Story. The selection chased home Ninth House at this venue earlier in the month and on these terms she is entitled to reverse the placings. Ninth House does have a better draw here, but even so, One Night in Paris should be too strong. Inside Story ran a respectable race at Kempton last time behind Smokey The Bear, form that has worked out quite well. He has a decent draw and is entitled to be thereabouts at the finish. Circus Polka looks the best of the others, but One Night In Paris can land this prize and she gets our nomination.
