        Verdict

        PINK LIPS won in soft ground last term and went close off today's higher mark at Yarmouth in July. She gets the vote despite having her first start since then given today's distinctly modest opposition. Top weight Magical Rose has just the one win in 22 starts but Colour My World is less exposed and drops a further 2lb down the weights. Crossley managed a fourth in heavy going in November and Douglas Pasha won off a slightly higher mark on Polytrack last year.
