      Verdict

      Country Road has claims if taking part but was engaged to run at Wolverhampton yesterday. Milton Hill, Battle Axe and Insidious have shown nothing so far and are easily dismissed so this looks between the remaining pair. Viewing won her maiden on the Polytrack here and has gone close over longer trips since. She holds every chance but giving so much weight to FLY BY WHITE may prove beyond her. The latter is no certainty given she's finished last on both starts this season, but it will be no surprise to see the Brighton winner bounce back to form dropping in class and racing off a featherweight.
