      Verdict

      Lethal Touch completed a double at Epsom before well beaten here while Shalfa easily beat Swing To The Stars when scoring at Brighton. The latter missed an engagement at Nottingham yesterday to run here while Angel Of Peace scored over track and trip recently to open her account. PRETTY PEG returns from a short break but shaped well when fourth at Newbury in July on her handicap debut. The first two home have both won since so the Hannon filly gets the vote.
