Verdict
POKER HOSPITAL sets the standard in this maiden on last month's third at Windsor. George Baker's filly is improving with the experience and the booking of Kieren Fallon suggests connections mean business today. Biba Diva ran well until lack of condition told on her debut at Salisbury and she should improve on that here, but Idler needs to step up on his fourth at Musselburgh if he's to figure. Chalk And Cheese wasn't disgraced on his second start at Newmarket and may prove the pick of the remainder.
