      Verdict

      This opener looks tricky with Kinout, Ten Down, Littlemisssunshine and Starlit Sands all worth noting with the tentitive vote going to the last named. The selection was in winning form on her debut at Thirsk and although she carries a penalty for her troubles she only needs to improve a little to take this with ease. Littlemisssunshine will pose as the biggest danger with two solid efforts to her name to date. She was meeting some tiding horses on both those ocassions and this is a drop in grade so any market support should be noted. Ten Down is the other to watch having had more experience than any of the others. She was out of depth in listed company last time out but prior to that had solid efforts to her name. But for the winner we will return to Starlit Sands who looks a decent prospect in the making.
