      Verdict

      Several of these are respected in the opener, but preference goes to Bold Cheverak, whose stable always have to be feared when they seek out an opening at this time of the year. The in-form Orpen Wide along with Ashes and Flying Dance are others to merit a second look in the betting, with the first-named possibly representing the biggest danger to the selection. However, the lightly raced three-year-old tries this surface to the first time in public and, despite looking to be on the upgrade, he has a little more to do under a 6lb penalty in this company. Ashes bids to atone for her mishap at Lingfield last week, where she unseated Darren Williams soon after the start. A sixth furlong may also be her undoing this afternoon and others make more appeal on that score. Flying Dancer ran her best race so far when chasing home the useful Seamless in a maiden just after Christmas. A repeat of that effort will bring her right into the reckoning and she is one to bear in mind for each-way thieves if the price is right. However, Bold Cheverak has been crying out for a crack at this trip and, with the form of his latest start looking solid in the context of this race, this son of Bold Edge looks worth persevering with this afternoon.
