        Verdict

        Only 3lb separates the field on official handicap figures but ARAGOSTA is the least exposed. She opened her account with a facile victory over 7f at Kempton last month and can make a winning start in handicaps. Lilly Junior won a maiden last time but has already been beaten off lower marks in handicaps while Madame Mirasol and Imaginary World have also been beaten since scoring over track and trip last month. Lingfield winner Swiss Kiss found a 5lb rise beyond her last time and Al Manaal is preferred having slipped down the weights.
