      Verdict

      A very tricky puzzle for punters to solve. Lady Phill is in very good form and a 3lb rise for her Lingfield success is more than taken care of by her rider's claim. Perfect Pastime wins his share though generally at a lower level than this while Sakhee's Rose has only won once and that was on Polytrack. Dream Catcher hadn't won for over two years before last month's Wolverhampton success but she's still on a fair mark as is Hipz, who hasn't been beaten far in her last three starts and has Kieran Fallon in the saddle. TYCHAIOS went up 7lb for his victory at Brighton and has struggled subsequently but he ran well in a better handicap at Newmarket in July, his only recent start over this trip, so Stuart Williams' charge is given the nod.
