      Verdict

      Harbour Captain returned an easy winner at Bath three weeks ago but his earlier efforts at this track don't inspire much confidence. By contrast, Miako won over track and trip in February but is now 10lb higher in the weights and FLIRTINASKIRT is given a chance to show further progress. She returned a winning favourite over course and distance last time and is taken to follow-up on her handicap debut. Sharaarah and Chasing Dreams are more exposed and will need to step up on their recent efforts in handicaps to land this.
