    Verdict

    Katie Boo, Compton Classic and Divine Spirit look the three to focus on here and we will side the in-form Katie Boo to lead them. The selection is a course and distance winner and she arrives here in cracking form. She was an unlucky second behind Funfair Wane last time, she has ground conditions to suit today and from a fair draw she should take plenty of beating. Compton Classic won well at Ayr last time over 6f, but he is actually better over this trip and from a good draw he is afforded plenty of respect. Divine Spirit has been running really well but he was a beaten favourite last time and the handicapper may have at last caught up with him. Trojan Flight has a good draw and he does have the ability to win this, but he doesn't score as often as he should and the percentage call is to take him on. All of which returns us to Katie Boo as the one to beat.
