        Verdict

        None of these can be completely dismissed. UNDERWRITTEN gets the token vote as he's holding his form well having landed a double on the Polytrack last month. Wor Lass got off the mark over 1m5f here last time when Grand Diamond finished third but had earlier fallen prey to Eilean Mor at this track. Rayadour won over 2m at Ripon on his return to the Flat while Irish raider Carraroe Flyer is up 7lb for her win over 1m4f at Wexford a fortnight ago.
