      Verdict

      Dark Lochnagar was sent into the lead around this trip when tackling 1m4f at Hamilton but couldn't quite resist the challenge of Moll Davis. Gabrial The One won over an extended 1m4f here in May and ran over 1m6f last time so may just lack the pace for this though soft ground would help. Norma looked a likely future winner when a close second at Salisbury but didn't make the expected progress on her next start at Goodwood. Little India has been running well though in lower grade handicaps and has twice been beaten off lower marks but LOLA'S THEME gets the nod on her overall form and would have an even better chance if the going turned soft as she won a tough nursery at York last season on ground with plenty of give. Better Than Ever looks the type to improve having been gelded and making his handicap debut from a lowly mark.
