    Verdict

    A 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop Bird Over in her current frame of mind and she appears to face a straightforward task today. With the stalls on the stands side, the benefit of a high draw is negated for Lady Algarhoud, but she still represents the biggest danger from the rest, while Tipsy Lillie appeals at the likely prices as the best each-way shot in the race. The last named has plenty of experience to draw from and does at least know what it takes to win a race. However, she may not want the ground too soft and looks vulnerable against more progressive types. Lady Algarhoud has done very little wrong in her three previous starts and shapes as if she can pay her way in this type of contest. She is a half-sister to High Reach and several other winners over this trip, so should have no problems stamina-wise. However, Bird Over, who is due to race off a 13lb higher mark in future engagements, has nothing to prove regarding her ability over the trip and, as her form looks the more solid at this stage, it will come as something of a surprise if she cannot maintain her run of good form.
