        Verdict

        The shortlist contains Bessemer, Ryedane and Willhewiz, with the vote going to Bessemer. The selection proved suited by a drop in trip when winning well over course and distance last time and, despite having been raised nine pounds for that, we reckon that he remains competitive. Ryedane has not shown much lately on Turf and is nine pounds above his course and distance win, but his record here is good and he has a good rider on board. Willhewiz comes into the argument because he is competitively weighted on his Turf form and has run well off 70 her (he's now rated 72). Turning to the others, Witchry makes his all-weather debut, Middle Eastern has more to do than when winning over seven furlongs at Southwell last time, all of Ashes' wins have been at five furlongs and he's drawn wide today, the drop in trip is not sure to suit Revien, Kallista's Pride is not a forlorn hope based on Turf form but does race from three pounds out of the weights here, and the other pair look to have something to prove. All of which returns us to the selection, which is Bessemer.
