Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but low-mileage CAPTAIN PARMA could have more to offer after a break so edges the vote ahead of in-form maiden Crystal Dagger. Last year's victorTadreeb must enter calculations too, while How Impressive can also have a say if on song again.

8	Still a maiden but she posted a good second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 14 days ago, despite hanging left. One to consider. 2nd Pick 8 Crystal Dagger Jockey: Luke Morris Trainer: Ed Walker J: Luke Morris T: Ed Walker	97	-	-	-	20%	4/1
