    Verdict

    Dandy Nicholls' gelding Imperial Legend is chasing a four-timer under Shirley Teasdale but the soft ground is a worry. It won't trouble the lightly-raced Miliika, however, and she had Tango Sky behind when runner-up at Windsor in June - Ralph Beckett's charge is a pound worse off here. Silken Express hasn't done much wrong so far but his yard could be in better form while Planetex has a bit to prove after his run at Hamilton and Bubbly Ballerina usually finds at least one too good. RUSTY ROCKET was always in the firing-line when third against older horses over 6f at Haydock last time. The drop in distance shouldn't be a problem and Paul Green's charge can get back on the winning trail today, though stablemate Beau Mistral and El McGlynn would also have a chance on their best form.
