    Verdict

    Little Finch looks the pick here in a weak seller. Secret Meaning and Yes Meg make it to the shortlist. A winner of her last start, Richard Guest's daughter of Acclamation can win again today. She showed a liking for quick ground last time out and with conditions similar today, she could be hard to beat assuming the blinkers work for the second time. Next Best trailed in last on her debut but should fare better today, whilst Yes Meg shaped with a degree of promise first time out but needs to improve. Miss Antropist has experience on her side which counts for plenty and she cannot be ruled out. Secret Meaning has progressed with each run and should appreciate this extra furlong, however Little Finch knows how to win and can score again.
