Verdict

Abhisheka gets the vote in this fillies¿ handicap with Grain of Truth and Auction Room the main dangers. The form of the stable may be of slight concern but this filly won with such ease last time at Nottingham that she is difficult to oppose. She beat Chalentina that day going away and with more improvement likely she should take plenty of stopping here. Grain Of Truth is better than she showed at Sandown last time when she finished down the field behind Salute Him. She is a well-bred filly and she had previously won well at Ripon so it could be foolish to dismiss her claims too lightly here. Auction Room was disappointing in the Cheshire Oaks but she did put in an improved effort last time at Leicester last time behind Bandama. Tasjeel won last time at Bath but more is required to win this and for the winner we will return to Abhisheka.
