    Verdict

    Only a small field goes to post for this maiden to open the card and from a shortlist of Like For Like, Wohaida and Night of Fortune we will side with Like For Like. The selection has had a few chances now but this filly from the Richard Hannon yard wasn't beaten far last time at Windsor and she does bring the best form to the table here. She could be vulnerable to something that improves past her here, but nonetheless she looks the one to beat. Wohaida was a beaten favourite when she disappointed on her debut at Folkestone, but she did run better last time and she could be worth another chance. However, she has shaped as though she will be better over 5f and she will need to improve to take this. Night Of Fortune is interesting here as he progressed nicely from his debut last time out and if he improves again then he will be hard to beat. However, this drop in trip is not sure to suit and on that basis he is passed over. It will be a surprise if Imaginary Diva is good enough, and for the winner we will stick with Like For Like to lead them home.
