      Verdict

      A couple of defections may well have left the way clear for SCHEHERAZADE to open her account. She was still well beaten when third at Bath but this is a weak contest and soft going is a worry for Lisdarragh. The latter finished fourth on fast ground here recently while Air Hair Lair returns to the Flat but is without a win under any code after 19 starts. Roby Mill encounters soft going for the first time while Donya makes her handicap debut having shown little so far.
