      Verdict

      A small bumper field in our finale and it looks an easy task for Little Lu, Pinch Me Silver and Trumped Up Charge could be the ones to fight for second spot. Alan Swinbank's four-year-old was most impressive when making a winning debut at Uttoxeter, easily beating Mick Easterby's Opio. There should be plenty more to come and she should keep her unbeaten record. Pinch Me Silver is from a yard that does well in this type of event but he does have a fair bit to find with the selection on Uttoxeter running. She wasn't given hard time once her chance had gone and she may get a lot closer this evening. Trumped Up Charge could prove best of the newcomers. He is a well bred son of First Trump who cost 22 thousand euros as a four-year-old and hails from a very capable yard. The others make little appeal on pedigree and so we return to Little Lu as our choice to land first prize.
