    Verdict

    OUR CAT is turned out again quickly after making a surprise return to form at Market Rasen on Sunday. She has a 7lb penalty but could follow up if in the same mood. Trojan Star has been a bit unlucky so far but is probably in need of further help from the handicapper. Edgar has won a couple of times on Fibresand this year but was a little disappointing back on Turf at Plumpton. Kassis, however, will find this easier than the Listed race she contested at Cheltenham and she's preferred to Hit The Headlines and Classinaglass.
