    Verdict

    Just a quartet turn up and this has a trappy look to it with IMAGINARY WORLD given the narrow vote. Alan McCabe has really improved this filly in recent outings, seeing her rise 24lb in the ratings for a couple of good runs in claimers, including success at Wolverhampton last time. This sort of trip is ideal and there is every chance she will act on this surface and maintain that upward curve. Nottingham scorer Spyder has to be considered a danger given that the step up to a mile and slow ground suited that day and it would be no surprise if Julie Chapple-Hyam's runner followed-up. Stansonnit will be much better for his Musselburgh debut and we expect to see plenty more here, while Hoppy's Flyer is officially rated the best of these and has some very solid form, so can't confidently be ruled out.
