        Verdict

        Rose Bien gets the call over Acuzio, with Mr Majestic and Toss The Caber others to consider. Rose Bien lines up on the back of a useful run of three wins in her last four starts, two on the all-weather and more recently at Beverley. She came fast and late under Ed Creighton who obviously gets on well with her, and although yet to win off today's make, she has conditions to suit and is the one to beat. Mr Majestic had the misfortune to come up against Key Time on his last visit here, and has the latter has franked the form no less than three times since, he appears to be the main danger. Acuzio was all out to score at Warwick last time and it is debatable whether he can pull it off again, while Toss The Caber is biding his time before going back over hurdles. Rose Bien can give weight away all round in the finale.
