In depth

Verdict

The most exposed runner in the field is Par Excellence and he can put his racecourse knowledge to good use to beat Little Elver and My Lady Valentine. The selection was beaten by the draw at Ripon last time when well behind Little Trump. She had previously chased home Tick The Box in a similar race at Warwick and she looks the pick of a bad bunch today. Little Elver showed improved form to finish fifth to Capital Lass at Musselburgh last time and should be suited by this extra furlong. My Lady Valentine comes here in winning form having disposed of the same type of opponents at Beverley. The drop in trip is a slight concern but she should still make her presence felt. Sweetly Sharp could be the pick of the others, but Par Excellence is expected to lose her maiden tag today.
