        Verdict

        This could concern the three top-weights, Springtime Romance,Red Sahara and Grandalea, with the last named given the verdict. Sir Michael Stoute's filly put up some decent efforts last season and wasn't suited by the slow early pace last time when a well beaten fifth behind Diamond Lodge, with a renowned front runner in the line up tonight we should see a different performance. Red Sahara landed a weak event at Wolverhampton back in October and has put in some decent enough efforts on turf since to be given a chance in this company. Springtime Romance is the one that should set a decent gallop and will take some catching if given too much rope. Of the others Tuscarora who ran well in a valuable Chepstow event last time and can be fighting for a place, but Grandalea is pick on last season's form and taken to land the spoils.
