      Verdict

      La Fanciulla has a chance in this competitive and tricky claimer with Curtain Bluff and Sweet Revenge also worth noting. La Fanciulla won in claiming company at Salisbury back in May and has since run really well in defeat in handicaps. This drop back in grade will see her being difficult to beat. Curtain Bluff won in handicap company on the all weather at Wolverhampton last month but has since struggled in better company. This drop in grade has to be a benefit to his chance here here but he can be a little hit and miss at times so is one to treat with caution. Sweet Revenge has been running in claimers all season and each time finds one or two a little better and it might be a question of the same again for this filly so for the winner return to La Fanciulla.
