        Verdict

        Margery Daw gets the vote here ahead of Cayman Sunrise, Wood Fern and Maxilla. Marcus Tregoning¿s filly has plenty of scope, having had just the two outings so far. She made her debut on the Polytrack last December, finishing a close third over a mile, and the form of that race has worked out well. She did not reappear until turning out at Windsor this October, and again shaped well in chasing home the favourite Baltic Blazer. A half-sister to several winners, she should soon join the list based on those efforts alone and is the pick. Cayman Sunrise has a bit more experience, having had four runs so far, the latest of which came at Nottingham. There have been excuses for a couple of her defeats, and she remains another to keep on the right side of. Maxilla was having her first run since April when fourth over a mile and a half here recently. That was a big step up in trip and she might fare better over this lesser journey. Wood Fern was a beaten favourite on his Ripon debut and then came up against a couple of decent sorts at York next time. That was in May and he has not been seen since, but if fit enough, he is an obvious danger. For the answer though we return to Margery Daw.
