      Verdict

      Mark Johnston looks to have this race at his mercy. Geophony went close at Lingfield last week and looks sure to make a bold bid but stablemate LUCKY ESTEEM is preferred. The latter was narrowly beaten over track and trip three weeks ago and may just have the edge in this with a fillies' allowance in her favour. The remainder look up against it unless the newcomer Davy's Dilemma, a brother to the useful Cruck Realta among others, proves to be above average.
