        Verdict

        An open looking nursery handicap where we take Vale Of Belvoir to see off Frisky Talk, My Valerina and Danger Alley. Vale Of Belvoir sets the standard here courtesy of back to back wins at Catterick and Chester, on the latter occasion beating today's rival Frisky Talk. She handles this surface well, has plenty of speed and can continue to improve in landing the odds. Frisky Talk is 6lb better off with the selection for that Chester reverse and reverts to this standard after being thrashed at Newbury last time. She probably doesn't have as much scope for improvement now and so is opposed. My Valerina is a consistent filly making a very steady improvement but looks good enough to make the frame, while Danger Alley is another who will be battling for some money if he can build on his Yarmouth success of last time. But Vale Of Belvoir looks progressive and can score.
