      Verdict

      Most have similar credentials in that they pick up regular prize money without getting into the winner's circle too often. Hurricane Alert has been a recent exception but this is a rise in grade for the Hoad inmate and HAYLAH is the choice in the hope she can repeat the level of her penultimate run when a good third at Newbury. Inconsistent of late, she's gone well here before and Seamus Cronin takes off a valuable 7lb. Entertaining Ben and Sandfrankskipsgo like to attack from the front so there's the possibility they'll harm one another's chance. Spanish Star is running consistently well of late and Union Rose has been contesting better races so cannot be discounted dropped in class.
