    Verdict

    Sally's Dilemma can see off River Rye and Lucky Leigh. Admittedly, Sally's Dilemma has not exactly sparkled since landing the Brocklesby Stakes but she has plenty of speed and on a track that can favour the front-runner, we are prepared to offer her another chance today. River Rye won well at Windsor. She had demonstrated some ability in an earlier Newmarket maiden that has worked out well. Mick Channon's juveniles are in fair form at the moment so it was surprising that Lucky Leigh was allowed to be sent off at 16/1 on debut at Redcar. She certainly has bags of speed. Red Myth is related to plenty of sprint winners. Fangfoss Girl is onto her third trainer in as many races having obliged in two claimers. Street Of Hope was quietly backed on introduction and could be anything. A fascinating affair in prospect and we are with Sally's Dilemma.
