    Verdict

    Brian Meehan has his string in fine fettle at present so Chincoteague has to be strongly respected in this fillies' handicap and has every chance on the form shown when beaten by the narrowest of margins at Leicester two starts ago but she disappointed at Salisbury last time and a safer option looks to be WHERE'S SUSIE, who gets the vote ahead of Dovedon Angel. Gay Kelleway's filly won narrowly at Lingfield in June and could not defy her higher mark at Redcar last month but she is now only 2lbs higher than at Lingfield so cannot be discounted. David Bridgwater's Behest has yet to even be placed in any of her 10 career starts and is readily discounted in a moderate looking contest taken to go to Where's Susie. Michael Madgwick's mare has improved with each start on turf this term gaining a deserved success here over 1m4f last time and she has an obvious chance racing off just a 4lb higher mark today.
