        Verdict

        Just Lille has to shoulder top-weight here but should be up to landing first prize, Leslingtaylor and Hue could be the best of the others. Having landed four races in the spring, Just Lille appeared to be in the handicappers grip on her next two runs. However she ran a blinder at ayr last time when touched off by King Of Rhythm. She is not proven over this mile and half, which is a slight concern, but does look be the best option. Hue has the assistance of top rider Simon Walker and showed improved form last time out when fifth to Rudry World at Hamilton. He has dropped down to a nice mark and could make the frame at decent odds. Leslingtaylor was hammered out of sight at Pontefract last time but improved leaps and bounds over the jumps and is not one to be written off just yet. Daryal, a recent winner at Chester is another to consider for the places, but we think Just Lille is the safest option here and she gets our vote.
