        Verdict

        Kathleen Frances won eased-down over course and distance when last seen but the combination of a 62-day break, a 5lb rise and some interesting opponents make her worth taking on. We'll do so with CHICANE, a daughter of Derby winner Motivator, who should enjoy conditions. She's perhaps not straight-forward but is bred to continue improving and can get the better of Ildiko. Sir Mark Prescott took this race last year with a similarly lightly-raced type and his filly is of some interest stepping up in trip, but maiden efforts on soft ground promised little and we'll take her on. One Cool Poppy is well handicapped on her Folkestone run and may improve for the return to an easier surface but Chicane can give these the run around.
