    Verdict

    In a race where any slight advantage could be telling we'll side with THEOLA, who looks well treated by the terms of this contest with Danzatrice almost certain to run her race and Mykingdomforahorse is on good form and our shortlist. Given a weight for age allowance and racing off bottom weight the selection is also on form having topped a consistent run of near misses with a staying on victory last time. The extra distance looks sure to suit and she is unexposed enough to over come a three pound mark rise. Danzatrice is nothing if not consistent and still remains competitively weighted and should feature in the shake-up once more. Mykingdomforahorse is running well at the moment and a five pound mark rise for an easy victory last time shouldn't stop him challenging again. Mith Hill is up again in the weights after a good run in defeat last time and that might be telling so in another tight contest Theola has most in her favour.
