    Verdict

    Petite Margot is quite clearly the one to beat in this four-runner affair. Having won her last two races, the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained mare looks to have been found a good opening in which to bring up the hat-trick. With his stable flying at present, Peter Bowen's Manhunter can chase her home on his chasing debut, but the others look ordinary on what we have so far seen, although Spider Boy's best run to date came when third in a bumper here in March. However, Petite Margot is the one for us.
