    Verdict

    Storyville and Peppermint Tea look to have this between them, with the vote going to Peppermint Tea. The Michael Bell-trained selection improved from his first two runs to finish second in a six-furlong Yarmouth maiden at the third time of asking, which, to be frank, stands out as form in this contest. Storyville did not show too much on his sole run to date, but should be better for the experience. The other pair have shown even less, which returns us to Peppermint Tea, who has been found a soft race and is taken to score.
