        Verdict

        Katie Gale is a course and distance winner though her recent form has taken a dip and DEEP RESOLVE (NAP) is preferred. The latter has won three times over shorter trips on the Fibresand but has also scored twice over hurdles so today’s distance should not be a problem for Sally Haynes’ charge. A winner at Chelmsford, Kohinoor Diamond remains unexposed and could figure if handling the surface while Serenity Now, Ruler Of The Nile, Vercingetorix and Song Of Love all have form at the track.
