        Verdict

        Welsh Inlet has been knocking on the door but is still a maiden after 16 starts and gets little respite from the handicapper. Reachtothestars has yet to make the frame in five runs on turf but Dorothy's Dancing went close to completing her hat-trick off this mark at Kempton last month and should make her presence felt again. Brighton fourth Stunning In Purple and course winner Sensational Love are others to consider but there are possibilities about the speedy BEST BE CAREFUL, who will enjoy the fast ground and has an excellent chance at the weights if fully wound-up.
