      Verdict

      PACOLITA was in the lead at this trip at Epsom on Thursday and only faded inside the final furlong. She races from the same mark and can gain her second victory. Pyla has improved with each run though it was only a moderate handicap she won at Lingfield. Call Me Crockett has yet to win in 15 starts and has been beaten in a seller but Big McIntosh followed a victory at Kempton with a narrow defeat here a couple of weeks later. He'd have an obvious chance on that form though ran poorly on his debut over timber last week.
