      Verdict

      Roundhay Park is proving best over the minimum trip and won over the latter distance at Ripon in April and Shaheen has struggled over 6f so far this year. Prestbury Park was runner-up over today’s trip at Lingfield earlier but hasn’t figured subsquently while CROTCHET was expected to do better at Ripon last time. But this looks easier than her previous tasks in handicaps and Richard Fahey’s unexposed filly gets another chance today. Chookie Dunedin is another dropping down in class and may finish closer now back sprinting after a couple of modest efforts over a mile.
