      Verdict

      KHELEY is nominated here ahead of Mean Mr Mustard and Sorrel Ridge. Mark Brisbourne's filly has been in good form of late, breaking her maiden tag at Wolverhampton earlier this month. She has since run well back in handicap company behind Forever's Girl and a big run looks on the cards despite being nudged up the weights. Sorrel Ridge was beaten behind Kheley last time and has a 6lb pull in the weights in order to try and reduce the three length deficit, whilst Lady Gem let down favourite backers last time and needs to improve for the switch of surfaces. Sils Vincero has been held on all of her starts to date and needs to improve despite a 5lb drop in the weights, so a bigger danger could be Mean Mr Mustard. Jamie Osbourne's Invincible Spirit gelding is well-held by the selection on their run behind Forever's Girl, however he may improve for that first run in five months. Not a race that will live long in the memory but the vote goes to Kheley.
