      Verdict

      Novice winner Second Collection won over track and trip once again back in handicap company last time. But she’s 6lb higher today and RAINBOW GIRL makes more appeal. The latter will be sharper for a comeback run over 5f here and having placed over today’s trip at Doncaster last summer, more is expected from the Hannon filly now handicapping for the first time. Di Matteo drops down in trip for her handicap debut while Tie A Yellowribbon ran below par at Ripon recently and cheekpieces are applied with both Diva D and Abanica others sporting first-time headgear.
