      Verdict

      The Wee Lass won here on her debut in January and pulled much too hard when subsequently well beaten in a Listed race at Sandown. She has to go on the short-list dropped back in grade but AS I AM has shown a decent level of form in her two starts and, fitted with a hood here, can make it third-time lucky. The Prime Viper should improve for her run at Newbury while Charity Rainbow is an interesting newcomer but others are difficult to recommend.
