      Verdict

      YOUCOULDNTMAKEITUP made all on her racecourse debut over 5f at Beverley earlier in the month. Normal progress should see her go close again up against more exposed rivals. Rise Up Lotus failed to cope off today's mark at Thirsk having won her previous two starts and she's closely matched on collateral form with Midlander. York winner Ventura Shadow attempts 6f for the first time and may figure while Little Belter's fourth at Haydock looks better in hindsight given a Group 3 winner has come out of the race.
