      Verdict

      Keith Dalgleish won this in 2013 and Chances Are arrives on the back of an all-the-way victory at Carlisle last week for which she has a 6lb penalty. Irish raider Split The Atom has run on soft ground the last twice but is better on quicker going as he showed with a narrow defeat by the in-form Ishebayorgrey at Fairyhouse. Belle Travers hasn't won since her debut in October but went close at Ripon earlier this month while Kylach Me If U Can has been running very well over 7f from this mark in recent weeks. BAHAMIAN DESERT has won twice and been runner-up four times since June and though up another 2lb for a short-head defeat at Ayr this looks another good opportunity and he can go in again.
