        Verdict

        Little went right for Ocean Applause here last week and he's better judged on an earlier third at Newmarket. Arantes is usually thereabouts while Lu's Buddy and Mister Mayday both won their penultimate starts. Trulee Scrumptious only found one too good in a fillies' handicap at Newmarket in May, despite meeting trouble in-running, but we'll take a chance on the improving TAURIAN. Ian Williams' filly has shown promise in all three starts to date and makes her handicap on a fair mark - George Downing is one of the most experienced apprentices riding in this.
