        Verdict

        Pick A Nice Name, Dunn Deal and Divine Spirit are the three for the shortlist in this wide open sprint, and Pick A Nice Name can win for Richard Whitaker and the wives and girlfriends. Divine Spirit has not won for two years but stepped up on his seasonal bow when finishing fourth at Ayr. He receives weight all round here, but with only three career wins to his credit, he may have to settle for a plce. Unlike many of his rivals, Dunn Deal seems to be on the upgrade. He won at Warwick on similar ground three outings ago, before staying on well to take third at Leicester last time. He is clearly in good heart at the moment and must go well. Pick A Nice Name won a maiden fillies' contest on her Redcar debut, and although that was probably a weak affair, she could do no more than win. The daughter of Polar Falcon will have benefitted from the experience and will be hard to beat. Pick A Nice Name can send the girls to the bar to celebrate.
