    Verdict

    PEACH MELBA was narrowly beaten in soft going at Haydock earlier and went close again at Ffos Las earlier in the week. She may prove good enough given Fastnet Spin looks to be treading water off her current mark and Ashwaq has struggled since winning a maiden at Kempton in March. Used To Be looks no nearer winning despite sliding down the weights and My Illusionist was due to run at Sandown yesterday.
