        Verdict

        Most drop down in trip including Final Rendezvous, a runner-up over a mile at Wolverhampton on her handicap bow and River Chorus, who placed at the latter track in December. Petalite disappointed at Redcar last time while Valentinka, Closeness and Lower Street make their handicap debuts. But SAYIFYOUWILL won over today’s distance at Lingfield in April and having faced a couple of tough tasks on the Turf subsequently, she gets another chance in this.
