        Verdict

        In what looks a pretty modest maiden, Bolero again can put her experience to good use, Dilala and Jack Rolfe may prove to be the main dangers. James Fanshawe's daughter of Saddlers Wells has shown plenty of promise in her three races to date, all on different ground. She is expected to appreciate this slight step up in trip and looks the best option here. The Barry Hills trained Dilala is one of the most exposed runners in the line up, but rarely runs a bad race. She has a bit to find with the selection on official ratings but should still be involved in the finish. Jack Rolfe is from a top yard and is expected to come on a bundle from his recent Newbury debut. The pick of the others should be the consistent Awaken, but Bolero Again appears to have the best form on show and gets our vote.
