      Verdict

      Starwatch won at Windsor in May and has the beating of Jacob Cats on collateral form. Stockhill Diva just failed hold on for victory last time having won at Bath and should be in the mix once again. Patience has run out with the frustrating Loch Ma Naire while Compton Bird has looked high enough in the weights since landing a double at Kempton earlier. DALGIG attempted to make all over track and trip last time but was caught in the closing stages by the progressive Last Minute Lisa. He gets another chance racing off the same mark today.
