      Verdict

      Like a few of these, Irish raider Lifting Me Higher was placed on her latest start without threatening the winner. Star Ascending was beaten seven lengths when runner-up here recently and MCVICAR faded into third over track and trip last time. But the latter has slipped down the weights having missed the whole of last year so he gets a speculative vote to finish closer today. Kelly's Finest has been well beaten in both previous starts at the track and stablemate Arsenale arrives in woeful form.
