        Verdict

        VALIDATOR has the advantage of racecourse experience and it was a promising effort to finish third at Yarmouth on her debut. The Haggas filly gets the nod ahead of the newcomers. Of the latter group, Ajwan is a half-sister to a winner in France and makes most appeal of Richard Fahey’s three runners while Mecca's Minstrel’s dam was a winning sprinter and Foxy Lady is related to a winning two-year-old.
