        Verdict

        Mark Johnston has a 26% strike-rate at this course and CEOIL AN AITH who has run reasonably in two maidens so far may be able to progress here and win whilst Maid Of Meft could challenge if showing development but the main danger to our pick could come from Paul Hanagan's mount Nezhenka. The pick stayed on last time at Leicester and should benefit for the experience. With likely improvement following that run we side with her to pick up her first win. Maid Of Meft may struggle over this trip after weakening over a mile and a furlong last time out at Hamilton and the pedigree isn't exactly exciting. Nezhenka could be more interesting after a poor debut as middle distance looks to be the right sort of trip given the pedigree. Given the decent trainer record and the possibility for improvement we go for Ceoil An Aith to get the win.
