      Verdict

      In the seller, Chicherova is selected ahead of Cool Isle and Assumption. Chicherova seemed to show improvement over course and distance last time and, dropping to this grade for the first time, looks set to go well today. Cool Isle has plenty of placed efforts at this level and looks booked for at least the same again today. Down in grade and up in trip, Cecchetti cannot be ruled out of a good run, while Baytown Valentina would hold good claims based on her Bath win last summer, but three poor runs, including at this level, temper enthusiasm. Secret Tender has bits of form that say that she might go well, while the lightly-raced Assumption hails from a canny yard and is well worth a look in the betting. Finally, Dylan is another that is dropping to this grade for the first time, but overall she seems to have something to prove. All of which returns us to the selection, which is Chicherova.
