        Verdict

        The much traveled Sharp Hat is fancied to extend what has been a really fruitful period for him and the old-boy is selected over the frustrating Rafters Music, Queen Of Night and Second Empire. The selection, a new recruit to the David Nicholls team, is versatile regarding his best trip and acts well on this surface for one so set in his ways. His latest efforts have proved that he is no back number yet and he can burn off Queen Of Night, who looks the likeliest danger judging by her course and distance win from last month. However, she can be slow from the stalls and will need luck on her side if her rivals hit the gates running. So Sharp Hat, a battle hardened sprinter, is taken to edge it tonight.
