    Verdict

    LUCY THE PAINTER arrives in fine form having finished well ahead of Esteemable when scoring at Doncaster last month - she remains the one to beat despite a further 6lb rise. Free Running could make a race of it as she has been bang there at the finish in her last three starts here and an apprentice takes 5lb off her back today. Well beaten at Nottingham recently, Edge Of Heaven should do better back on the all-weather but still looks high enough in the weights.
