      Verdict

      Fairnlee gets the call here ahead of Grange Lili and Mo. Fairnlee is of obvious interest, being a half-sister to Fantaisiste and whose dam was useful and is related to numerous winners. If the market vibe is good, that would increase confidence. Grange Lili was beaten last time in a handicap off 59, so we couldn't be strong on her for win purposes, but Mo's last three runs rate at around the 70 mark and she has to be respected. Wibbadune made good late headway to finish second at Kempton last time, but the form rates in the low-50s. Finally, It would be no surpise to see Comrade Cotton improve on his debut, while Elhareer would hold a chance on her debut run, but you will need to forgive her latest effort. All of which returns us to the choice, which is Fairnlee.
