      Verdict

      IMAGINATION looked all over the winner over a slightly longer trip here last time and may be able to make it third time lucky in another modest maiden. The front two pulled clear of the field on that occasion and she sets a clear standard. Albertus Pictor was beaten a long way in a Southwell seller when sent off at 7-4 back in January but it's interesting that he's still with the yard and it will be interesting to see if this well bred son of the top class Albanova attracts any support in the ring. Another to note in the market is Brian Meehan's newcomer Star In Flight who is a brother of the yard's useful middle distance handicapper Star Of Light.
