      Verdict

      Stand Clear only won a seller at Wetherby while Blazin White Face has been mostly chasing lately and finished behind subsequent Kelso runner-up Groovy Dancer when last seen over timber. Last month's course and distance winner RATTLIN hasn't been done any favours by the handicapper but has far more scope than her rivals and can go in again with neither Sparkling Hand nor Bollin Dolly particularly consistent and Along Came Rosie a law unto herself.
