    Verdict

    Fratellino won a Listed contest at Lingfield in March and has done well since returning from a mini-break, finishing close up in a couple of competitive handicaps at Ascot last month. Those runs were over 5f, however, and he may not be effective over this extra furlong. Joe Packet and Sohraab have been largely disappointing this year but are handicapped to figure if back on song while Picabo showed herself to be in good heart with a recent victory at Yarmouth and shouldn't be far away again. Sacrosanctus, Whozthecat and Rafaaf may also figure but we may not have seen the best of CHEWOREE yet and she can be forgiven her latest effort here when she got a little bogged down in the soft ground. David Elsworth's filly is worth another chance.
