      Verdict

      Nothing is confidently ruled out but SLAINTE MHATH took the step-up to Class 4 with aplomb last time and it's all of question of how long she can resist the attentions of the handicapper. She did look to win with something in hand at Hamilton and is worth sticking with in an admittedly better race off a higher mark. Sophia's Starlight boasts similar credentials and impressed with the nature of her all-the-way win at Newmarket last month. A career-high mark of 80 is a challenge but there's every reason to believe she'll be competitive again. May Blossom may need to come down a few pounds and Happier is hard to fathom on the back of success in a modest Redcar maiden. Georgiava is back from a 250-day break, so Cashew and Roshambo look more likely with the latter preferred of the pair.
