    Verdict

    Hieroglyph is worth another chance and may prevail from Tallulah Sunrise and Natural Rhythm. Mark Johnston's filly hasn't really gone on since winning her maiden at Musselburgh in November and has been well held in two Lingfield handicaps since then. This company is less exacting though and she may be able to bounce back to form on her first attempt on fibresand. Tallulah Sunrise also pays her first visit here having been placed at Kempton and Wolverhampton on her last two starts. Her latest performance was perfectly respectable and her chance is respected. Natural Rhythm has won just once in nineteen starts but has made the frame here and could get into the mix in this contest. Bookiebasher Dude ran a fair race in a claimer last time and isn't discounted but Hieroglyph is selected.
