      Verdict

      The action moves to the Tapeta track for the closing bumper. Zakharova made a winning start at Musselburgh but struggled in Grade 2 company at Aintree in April and this looks more her level. SUMMER LIGHTNING scored over track and trip on her debut back in April and, with a pipe-opener at Kelso under her belt, and gets the vote back on this surface. Paris Dixie posted an improved effort at Carlisle last time and can also figure but the remainder are harder to fancy. Kymata has placed in a point-to-point without threatening and debuts under Rules so Bravantina may prove a bigger threat.
