      Verdict

      Plenty of collateral form but little to separate these fillies in a highly competitive event. Show Flower finished runner-up on her debut with subsequent winners Vassaria and Elusive Kate only a half-length behind. The latter won at Kempton beating Arsaadi and KINETICA, who have both won in their turn, but Sir Mark Prescott's filly gets the speculative vote here as there was cut in the ground when she scored at Chester. Worthington finished fourth in a Listed event last time with Hawfinch a hairs breadth behind and Pink Shappire won on rain-softened ground at Salisbury on her penultimate start albeit over a shorter trip.
