      Verdict

      A three-year-old took this last year and there are four entered this time. Though Classic Image is a pound out of the handicap, it would be no surprise should the Wolverhampton fourth prove the pick though she has a bit to find on collateral form with EXCELLENT AIM. George Margarson's charge won this by five lengths in 2013 off the same mark and has been knocking on the door on the all-weather lately so is the one to beat. Picansort must have some sort of chance but has never won on Turf and was beaten in a seller here on his penultimate start.
