      Verdict

      Exhibit One should be too good for her rivals in the finale with Viz the one most likely to make a race of it. The selection is a likeable filly from the Sir Michael Stoute yard and she lost no caste in defeat last time when a good second behind Mont Saint Michel at Warwick. This looks an easier race and she is difficult to oppose. Viz rates the main danger although she was well-beaten on her debut despite finishing third behind Baie Des Flammands at Ripon. She ran very green that day so she is sure to benefit from the experience, but she will need to show significant improvement to beat our selection tonight. It will be a surprise if the other pair with racecourse experience are good enough so the newcomer Flower Haven could therefore be the best alternative of these three runners. She is worth noting in the market, but Exhibit One sets a decent standard for the rest here and is given the vote.
