Verdict

The vote goes to Rules debutant BLACK DAKOTA, who was runner-up to a promising type from the pointing field last time. Kiwi de Cotte is another Rules newcomer to consider having had Begger over 12 lengths behind when winning a point 2 week ago, with recent hunter winner Tiffiny's Girl also a contender.
