      Verdict

      LADY VERONA's third to Anna's Arch at Perth in August looks the best form on offer in this modest finale and Lucinda Russell's filly can get the better of stablemate Rowdy Rocher, who won a point-to-point in Ireland in May but has his first start for the stable today. Karrical can probably improve on an uninspiring debut at Uttoxeter in the spring and may be best of the rest, though market support for Ferdy Murphy's Elusive City gelding Badgers Retreat would have to be taken seriously.
