      Verdict

      Bulls Aye is not the most straightforward and refused to settle at Ayr last week before running out of steam in the final strides. WILLING TO PLEASE placed at Hamilton a fortnight ago when ahead of both Jaminoz and Dark Company and, having won over a mile here off a 4lb higher mark last summer, she gets the vote. Dandy's Angel is a rare winner but Mr Coco Bean finished third in this last year and has subsequently slipped down the weights.
