      Verdict

      HISTORIC EVENT was beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton on her recent debut with the third-placed horse four lengths adfrift. Saeed Bin Suroor’s filly can open her account in this. Secret Strategy has found one too good in both starts so far and steps up in trip while Double Spin drops down in distance having disappointed over 7f at Kempton last time. Five Star Frank got steadily closer last year and was runner-up here in December while Fair Cop is a half-sister to three winning sprinters and a newcomer to note in the betting.
