    Verdict

    There's not much between these at the weights but Hackett and Pyrenean are hard to fancy on recent form. Beating Harmony ran his best race to date when third at Wolverhampton last month but needs more here if he's to lose his maiden tag so this looks between So Is She and BETTER SELF. The former has been in fine form over 7f at Southwell of late and a 7lb claimer will help her cause back on the Polytrack, but the latter appreciated the step up to a mile when winning at Wolverhampton last week and is taken to follow up.
