        Verdict

        Irish raider Markmyword has shown little in her two starts and will need to find much more. NICKELSONTHEDIME didn't have the pace to get to the favourite at Ayr but had the remainder well beaten and can go one better. Soviet Castle was a 20/1 chance when runner-up in a newcomer's event at Ayr so normal progress should see him in contention. Scorchin is one to note on his debut as his dam is related to winners on the Flat and over hurdles.
