Verify has been knocking on the door but is still edging up the weights. ELSIE VIOLET has had a claimer on board for all but one of her races this year but Andrea Atzeni has been booked here and Robert Eddery’s filly has her ground so gets the nod. No Dress Rehearsal is much less exposed and also entitled to go close with Toybox and Glory other possibilities in an open-looking handicap.
