        Verdict

        Rudegirl showed the best form on offer here in a competitive Fairyhouse contest last time and acts with cut in the ground, so Nigel Tinkler's filly will be tough enough to beat, but that honour can go to WHAT ABOUT YOU. The Statue Of Liberty colt makes his debut here and the yard's two-year-olds have been its biggest source of success in what has been a great season. The trip looks ideal and with some soft ground influence on the dam's side we will chance him. Commended needs to show a considerable amount more than on his Newbury debut and Queen O'The Desert seemed to handle softish ground well enough at Newmarket, so she may prove to be the best of the remainder.
