      Verdict

      GEETANJALI is on a roll and Cameron Noble’s claim just about negates a further 6lb rise. Michael Bell’s filly should complete the hat-trick as none of her rivals arrive in the best of form. Choral Music might be the danger as her trainer has a good record with handicap debutantes and she should be suited by the step up in trip. The likes of Free Talkin, Duba Plains are Jazzy Girl are already looking exposed and Ellen Gates hasn’t shown much so far.
