      In depth

      Verdict

      Toplight won at Wolverhampton back in July while Pretty Shiftwell scored at the same track in June. Storm Melody is preferred on last week’s second here while Tilsworth Rose landed a classified contest at the track on her penultimate start but was well beaten back in a handicap last time. STRIKE ME A POSE came up against higher rated opposition than these when fourth in a maiden at Lingfield. Improvement is expected with headgear applied on his handicap debut and he may prove the one to side with.
