      Verdict

      A small field and a good opportunity for TAKE FLIGHT to bounce back with a maiden win; Yasmeena and Piece Of Mind are the obvious horses to shake her up. Jeremy Noseda's Pivotal filly shaped well here on debut before flopping at Kempton when trounced by Hooray. That filly has since gone on to feature in Group races and the form has worked out well, however her absence since indicates that she didn't run to her true ability that day. Whatever the reason she is worth giving another chance to today assuming the market doesn't scream otherwise. Piece Of Mind is the most interesting newcomer; she is bred to be sharp and as a Richard Hannon juvenile she is afforded the utmost respect. As is Yasmeena, a Mr Greeley filly whose dam was very good over sprint trips. She is a first foal but if she is anywhere near as good as her parents then she looks sure to run well, with a Cheveley Park entry suggesting she's above average at home. Choose The Moment is another to consider if holding her own in the betting as her trainer sent the high-class The Cheka here as a juvenile, however we are happy to side with the Moyglare entry Take Flight.
