Several worthy of consideration but WYVERN was only beaten a neck at Wolverhampton by a winner rated 80 and that may prove strong enough form to come out best. Lumley had the measure of the disappointing Golden Whisper when runner-up on her debut and can figure while Noble Mark improved to finish second at Chelmsford last time. Mekbat finished closer when third at Kempton but never threatened the winner. Delightfilly looks best of the rest.
