      Verdict

      This could be another prize for Nicky Richards with recent winner Joan's Girl, Junkanoo and Harry Flashman may be the ones to chase her home. This daughter of the prolific Supreme Leader showed tremendous courage to beat a decent field at Catterick last month. That was only her second run in Britain and there could be plenty more in the locker. Harry Flashman hasn't been disgraced in two outings since winning at Hexham in May. He makes his handicap debut today and looks on a pretty fair mark. Meanwhile Junkanoo is from a yard that are doing well in these type of contests and after looking in need of a recent return he could make his presence felt this afternoon. Overserved and Kempski are two others in with a shout, but Joan's Girl has more scope for improvement than most of these and she gets the vote.
