      Verdict

      Just seven runners for this fillies handicap and a case can be made for most of them. However Nice To Know has done little wrong of late and gets a narrow vote ahead of Ventura and Fragrancy. Gary Moore's charge is chasing a hat-trick of wins following victories at Folkestone and Goodwood. The form of both events has worked out really well and despite rising in the weights she can make it three wins on the bounce. Ventura has been in good form all season and went close again last time out when chasing home Our Faye at Salisbury. She also finished runner up to today's rival Fragrancy in a hot race at at Windsor, going down by just a head. The weights today favour the top-weight, but it should be close again between them. As I say the rest of the field can all be given some sort of chance, but we expect Nice To Know to continue her winning ways and she gets our vote.
