        Verdict

        Trendsetter won last year’s renewal off a 3lb lower mark but has something to find with INDIRA on running here earlier this month. The latter went on to land a hat-trick when scoring at Newmarket and it could pay to stick with John Berry’s mare in her current form. Sir Chauvelin also arrives in winning form and bids for a treble off an 8lb higher mark having recorded a double at Hamilton earlier in the month. Yorkidding went close at York a week ago and is preferred to stablemate Zand but course winner Be Perfect has plenty to find with Sir Chauvelin on latest running.
