    Verdict

    This should be fairly straightforward for FINESSE, the only filly in the race but in a different league to her rivals if last month's second at Lingfield is a reliable guide. That was her first start since April so she should improve further. Gaelic Wizard could be the one for forecast-backers as he appears to have the beating of Brown Volcano on a line through Bath winner Gladiatrix, though My Time ran as well as could be expected on his debut at Wolverhampton.
