        Verdict

        DISPOL KEASHA may be worth chancing despite recent form figures; Bossy Kitty, Fear Nothing and Diman Waters may prove to be the stiffest opposition. Paul Midgley's filly is down to a mark of 76 now but this speedy filly has some excellent form on flat tracks. She has run a fair race here before and with quick ground likely to suit her speedy style she is taken to run a big race. Stablemate Tillys Tale is not ignored given her consistent record, Trade Secret represents a yard that like to have winners at the track but it took him a while to break his duck, whilst Bossy Kitty has dead-heated at the track before so is far from discounted. The feeling is that the Archers Road form at Chester will be solid so Diman Waters is respected, Besty was well-fancied on his reappearance and rates better than that run, whilst Fear Nothing is unexposed and is feasibly treated for this handicap debut. Hoof It represents local connections and won tidily at Beverley but his best runs have come on tracks with testing finishes, Lucky Flyer is unexposed and the yard are in good nick, whilst similar comments apply to both Taborcillo and Royal Holiday, for whom Paul Hanagan looks an interesting jockey booking. The market should help guide but the tentative vote is given to Dispol Keasha.
