        Verdict

        Skeleton was expected to do better at Kempton last time and is overlooked here but Polly Holder has scope for improvement after three runs in maiden company. Sheila's Star has won her last two starts here in similar company and looks the one to beat in her current frame of mind but she may find it difficult to confirm superiority with ORATOUCH. The latter finished third to Stan Moore's charge over the extended mile here last month after a tardy start and running on close home. Marco Botti's charge is slightly better at the weights here but today's extra furlong could prove a bigger factor and she rates the selection.
