      Verdict

      Gold Spirit, Vadinka and Inflight look the main contenders with the vote going to the last named. Inflight has two runs under her belt and improved from her debut outing to run with credit here last time out. She was beaten over eight lengths that day but she is taken to improve once more and break her maiden tag. Gold Spirit will go off the likely favourite after finishing mid division on his debut at Redcar when beaten by Opal Noir. He needs to improve to win this. Vadinka is another to note in the market as he was not beaten far at Lingfield last time out when finishing fifth of seventeen. He was only beaten three lengths that day and another bold bid is expected. But for the winner we return to Inflight.
