        Verdict

        Narrow preference here is for Neverletme Go, who gets the call over Bonne de Fleur and Highland Cascade. Much as the selection has been raised six pounds - and is now two pounds worse off with Bonne de Fleur on that form - following a head win from Bonne de Fleur at Nottingham last time, she travelled well throughout that race and, now that she has got her head in front again, might develop a taste for victory. Highland Cascade improved for the step up in trip last time to score at Chester, and five-pounds rise in the weights might not be enough to stop her from running well again. Rancho Cucamonga ran well from today's mark at Hamilton last time, but others are preferred from a winning point of view. Sapphire Dream was noted making late gains last time, so might improve again, while Pertemps Magus was beaten off his revised mark last time. Finally, La Vie Est Belle keeps getting raised for being beaten but will get her head back in front one day. However, it might not be today as Neverletme Go gets the vote.
