      Verdict

      Another competitive heat where FESKO is taken to score, while Changing The Guard can go close. The selection is stepped up in trip here and that could be the key to success. Pedigree suggests that the extra furlong is in the favour of the Shinko Forest filly, who was a running-on winner over 6f at Southwell last month. A 3lb rise looks far from insurmountable and provided this surface is not a problem then she can score. Changing The Guard was a debut scorer who was not disgraced on his last two starts, the most recent over today's course and distance. The first-time headgear may well sharpen him up and he could give the selection most to do. Ageebah drops back in trip after she won over a mile at Kempton last time, but that should not be a problem and she can go well. Grand Honour won off a mark of 83 last summer, but he has been beaten off lower marks like today¿s since then and so is taken on again here. Iron Out looks best watched on his handicap debut, and we will side with Fesko.
