    Verdict

    Rhossili Down went close at Carlisle the last time she raced in novice company and has every chance on her second start after wind surgery. But a couple fo these may improve past her including Wolverhampton runner-up Mohareb, who drops down in trip along with REIMS. The latter ran out of steam behind an odds-on favourite over the 7f trip here when third on her debut but the Haggas filly showed enough to suggest she can win at this level and gets the nod. Arthur Shelby has yet to figure while the newcomer Nigel Nott is out of a speedy Listed winner.
