      Verdict

      Lucky Violet has her first start since scoring at Musselburgh in August and is 6lb higher. Bahamian Bird failed to cope with a 4lb rise for winning over track and trip earlier and is upped in class while Alpine Dream has something to prove over today’s distance. Sexy Legs failed to win when trained in Ireland but can race off a lower mark having her first start since 2015 while Stosur drops down a grade. CORONATION DAY (NAP) ended last year with a double and finished second at Brighton on her recent comeback. She looks capable of winning off her current mark on that evidence and gets the vote.
