Verdict

Les Verguettes is chasing a hat trick but has gone up 9lb for a narrow margin victory at Salisbury last time. AMETHYST DAWN makes more appeal as she bounced back to form over 6f here last month and remains on a winning mark despite a 5lb rise. Imaginary World is another who has slipped down the weights and she finished closer over C&D three weeks ago while Caramelita is open to further progress over today's trip after scoring at Yarmouth recently.
