      Verdict

      A poor race here but something has to win and the principals look to be Sunny Lady, Regal Performer and Regal Chance and the tentative vote goes to Sunny Lady despite a row of seconds beside her name. The selection was a fair second behind Hathlen last time out and with the drop in trip and the booking of Frankie Dettori catching the eye and she is given one last chance to score. Regal Performer rates the main danger on his latest second behind Goblin but that was only three days ago and he may find this coming to soon so he is passed over on this occasion. Lucky Again is from a shrewd yard and enters handicaps on a lowly mark so is worth noting in the market especially as she is bred to be suited by this trio and this is her first attempt at it.Crocolat is another unexposed sort that could improve while Elina has had plenty of chances and is passed over on this occasion and fior the winner we return to Sunny Lady.
