        Verdict

        The Lochsong Fillies' Handicap sees Delphie Queen, Tahrir, Gaelic Princess and All Quiet shortlisted, with the vote going to Gaelic Princess. This is a tricky race and if a few of these come back to form - always a possibility with fillies - then they would have a chance. These include Solar Power and Bentley's Bush. However, Gaelic Princess seemed to be running into form last time and, being a course and distance winner - albeit from a three-pounds lower mark - can have a good case built for her running well. As can All Quiet, who has won two of her last three races and clearly remains in good heart. Finally, Tahrir is weighted to just turn around the form with Clinet based on their Newmarket efforts, while Desert Imp needs to improve on that form to feature, but the course and distance winner Delphie Queen looks on a more realistic mark now and could go well. Overall, though, we will side with Gaelic Princess.
