    Verdict

    A tricky race to solve with many in with chances and, of these, Zarin might just hold the key ahead of Chorus Beauty, Diamond Shannon, Senor Bond and Only One Legend. Looking at the runners. The lightly raced course and distance winner Diamond Shannon is another to consider, as is Geoff Wragg's Chorus Beauty, a rare runner on this surface for the Newmarket trainer. With his stable back in form, Senor Bond also holds claims. Teehee ran well over course and distance from a poor draw last time, and course and distance winner Only One Legend will almost certainly give you a good run for your money. Merdiff is not without a chance if running to the level of his best Wolverhampton form, while Zarin, who has solid course and distance form, could yet step up in first-time blinkers as Lisa Jones comes to the end of her claiming days. Finally, Irusan ran quite well on this surface last time, will appreciate the step up to seven furlongs and, lightly raced, could have better to come. There are far too many imponderables to be dogmatic about a selection and, with that in mind, we will opt for Zarin.
