      Verdict

      The step up to seven furlongs could be the making of JORDAURA who is preferred to the in-form Swift Chap and Zowington. The selection has been rather frustrating to follow and has just the one all-weather success to his name from ten starts but he's been doing all of his best work late on in recent outings and is given the chance to set the record straight. Bended Knee is well worth a second look as she moves into handicap company for the first time but she does have something to prove on the evidence of her three runs in maidens. Zowington has nothing to prove at this stage of his career although the best of his form is over six so stronger claims are held by Swift Chap who only narrowly lost out to another progressive rival at Leicester and should make another bold bid. Emeebee is unexposed and worth a check for signs of encouragement in a competitive race but the vote's awarded to Jordaura.
