        In depth

        Verdict

        Briannsta gets the call here ahead of Lady Bahia and Fizzlephut. Scooby Dude put up his best effort on the all-weather last time when a staying-on fourth over course and distance despite losing ground at the start. Briannsta comes here on a roll, having won hs last two. Despite the fact that his two wins from his last two starts have come at six furlongs - and, also, that he has never raced over five furlongs - Briannsta looks to hold sufficient speed to be considered a major player today. A six-pounds rise for a course and distance win will make life trickier for Fizzlephut, while Sahara Silk could well claim some money if at her best, as might Lady Bahia, as she is going to need a career-best effort if she is to win. Finally, Maktavish would hold an excellent chance on form from early in the year, but he was behind Fizzlephut last time, although he is now eight pounds better off for six lengths. Overall, though, Briannsta is taken to bring up the three-timer.
