    Verdict

    Rita Rana is the only course winner having gained her only success over the trip last month and she's only 1lb higher. Nonsuch Lad, who was conceding 12lb and finished five lengths behind, was well supported at Doncaster last time and supporters hardly had a moment's concern. Gilbert ran poorly at Windsor on Saturday but SPECTATRICE could be the one to beat. Sir Mark Prescott's yard has struck form in recent weeks and this daughter of Fast Company could be on a very lenient mark now tackling a more suitable trip.
