    Verdict

    Rehia is bound to be popular with backers dropping into plating class having contested a Newbury maiden on her only previous start but Richard Hannon's filly was well held behind stablemate Voile there and we prefer to side with the proven selling form of Loveisdangerous and Bowling Along with preference for the last mentioned. Loveisdangerous appreciated the drop to this grade at Ayr last time when not beaten far when last of four behind Burkees Graw but Bowling Along has the more solid form. A winner of a Catterick seller, the American-bred filly lost no caste in defeat when fourth in a decent seller over six furlongs at York subsequently, making much of the running and weakening once headed inside the final furlong. The drop in trip to the minimum should suit and Bowling Along is taken to defy her penalty. Quidnet drops from maiden-company to this grade and has to be respected with William Haggas' stable back among the winners now. The others make very limited appeal.
