      Verdict

      Not the worst fillies' handicap contested this season and Sir Mark Prescott can provide Seb Sanders with another winner here on Sourire, who can take the contest from Fidelias Dance and Johar Jamal. The selection has shown a consistent level of form in seven starts to date, with this trip her optimum. She seems to handle any ground and despite another slight rise in the weights her master trainer appears to have found her a good opportunity in what is not a strong race. Fidelias Dance is stepped up from 6f here by Mark Johnston, having struggled to show much speed over the sprint distances. She is now 10lb better off with Johar Jamal for just over four lengths at Newmarket over 6f and that should bring the pair of them much closer together now. Serena's Storm is very much respected after going well in a decent contest last time, and she could give them all plenty to do, but we'll take Sourire to land the prize.
