        Verdict

        Another poor maiden maiden rounds off the card and the market will be very informative but the main protagonists look to be Elizabethan Age, Cost Analysis and Woodwool and the vote is given to Elizabethan Age. The selection has been in good form of late without winning but a reproduction of her latest second behind First Show sets the standard in the context of this race and she need only run up to that mark to win this. Woodwool hails from a yard that can ready a newcomer and this half-sister to a multiple, but modest, 6-7f 4-7yo winner Jazzy Millennium will not need to be anything special to take a hand in the finish. Cost Analysis is another worthy of respect on his best form but he appears to have regressed so can not be put forward with any confidence. White Bear is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but appears triples. Of the remainder Fajr has shown a modicum of ability and could improve for the step up in trip but for the winner we return to Elizabethan Age who sets a fair standard.
