    Verdict

    This is a big step up in class for Ayr fifth Idler while useful juvenile Pearl Diva has yet to prove she's trained on. Minalisa looked as though she was in the handicapper's grip when only fourth at Leicester earlier this month and Represent has shot back up the weights again after winning at Salisbury. UPRISE has had a progressive profile over the last couple of months and again ran well when third off his new mark at Windsor. With Ryan Powell taking off 3lb, he can get back to winning ways as Mister Musicmaster is proving difficult to place.
