        Verdict

        A frustrating group have been drawn together for the opener, with Prince Of Gold edging the nomination as the one to be on, while Kareeb, Seldamosa and Fulvio head the list of dangers. Fulvio has been thereabouts in races of this nature lately and, although hard to win with, he acts well on the surface and holds solid place claims again today. Similar comments apply about Kareeb, whose supporters always know their nerves will be tested to the limit by his style of racing. Luck in running is a major part of Kareeb's game plan and, at the age of 10 it is unlikely he is going to change now. Seldamosa has ability when she puts her mind to it and cannot be ruled out at this level. However, she often finds little for pressure and her solitary win from 20 previous starts tells its own story. Therefore, we turn to Prince Of Gold, who is holding his form well just now and, as he is already a dual course and distance winner, the Reg Hollinshead-trained gelding looks the most reliable option from this modest bunch.
