        Verdict

        Fairmorning gets the nod here over Leophin Dancer, Little Richard, Nakwa and Lampos. The selection's third behind Delta Force over course and distance last time had a solid enough look about it in the context of this race at the time, and may have been given a further boost if Delta Force won on Sunday. As a consequence, we are happy to side with him. Leophin Dancer comes here in good heart from hurdling but his Flat form is mainly plating class. Little Richard has course and distance winning form at around the 60 mark from May 2002 and, clearly, a return to that level would make him the major player. Of the others, Lampos's recent third in a course and distance seller reads possibly best of all, but not good enough for us to veer away from the selection, which is Fairmorning.
