        Verdict

        The unbeaten Manaal is difficult to ignore and edges the nomination over Abandon and Flying Clarets, while each-way support for Jane Of Arc would not come without foundations. The last named won an ordinary maiden at Thirsk in July before showing promise in a Novice event at Warwick a few weeks later. She is better than her only subsequent start would have you believe, so it is not out of the question for her to make the frame in this company. Flying Clarets showed her customary zest by winning on her reappearance a fortnight ago. A 5lb higher mark does make life hard today and she needs to post a career best to prevail. Abandon maintained a good level of progress in three starts on the All Weather last year. She was not unduly punished for two successes and, as a mark of 77 looks fair, she has a solid chance on these terms. However, Manaal has done nothing but improve so far and this very well-bred filly is taken to stretch her winning sequence to three on the trot.
