        Verdict

        PHYLLIS MAUD has won three of her six races - all at this level including a very easy victory in an amateurs' race at Wolverhampton last week. She's been handed a 10lb rise but comes here with a penalty so has to be the choice. Sisyphus has to be a threat as he made a very encouraging handicap debut over 1m2f at Newmarket when staying on after being impeded at the start. Kelly's Finest is consistent at this sort of level and should be winning soon though like Joshua Potman she's still a maiden and has had plenty of chances.
