      Verdict

      Bracken Brae is upped in class after landing a double, which included a win over course and distance. But she makes more appeal than Percella, whose bid for a hat-trick failed when well beaten in this grade at Wolverhampton behind third-placed Celestial Bay. The latter won last year's renewal off a 4lb lower mark but KELLY'S FINEST (NAP) makes most appeal this time. She can be forgiven a poor effort on the Fibresand last time as she clearly prefers this surface having won her maiden here and then going close in a Class 4 handicap over track and trip when ahead of Blue Sea Of Ibrox.
