      Verdict

      This should develop into a match between Most Definitely and Vipissana, with the former just preferred. Vipissana, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, has shaped encouragingly on both starts at Newmarket this season, most recently not doing herself too many favours by pulling quite hard in the early stages before finishing a three lengths second to Alared. She steps up in trip here and will need to settle better before she begins to live up to her true potential. Little Sky shaped well on her flat debut, but this very modest hurdler has a much stiffer task here, and Most Definitely will be a tough nut to crack. Tim Easterby's gelding has finished runner-up in his last four starts at around this trip, most recently behind the useful One Off in handicap company at Newcastle. This looks a slighly easier opportunity and we take him to score a deserved first win here.
