        Verdict

        A tricky finale as Flinty Fell is 6lb better off with the now penalised Barwah when only beaten a neck over a mile here on Friday. Balance is one of the least exposed in the field and the Pivotal filly might be suited by the extra furlong. Emblaze has been much improved lately and Bint Arcano has won twice over this trip, including once on Tapeta. Having won twice on Polytrack, GLEAMING GIRL should handle the surface here. She wasn't beaten far at Chelmsford last time off a pound higher mark and Sophie Killoran is her regular partner.
