      Verdict

      Dutch Descent found a couple of three-year-olds too good at Hamilton last time and it could be the same story here. Placed at Lingfield on her debut, Sur Empire showed only a modicum of improvement at Newmarket last week so POSTULANT is preferred. The latter was only beaten a length when finishing strongly over 6f at Redcar and this longer trip should suit Richard Fahey's filly. Stablemates Hightime Hero and Gathurst make their racecourse debuts with the former preferred on jockey bookings.
