Verdict

The vote goes to PEARLY SQUIRREL, who hasn't done a great deal wrong in five handicaps for her new yard this season and she has every chance here judged on her latest sixth in a big field at York. Handicap debutant Sanditon and Takteek, who is having first run for the James Owen stable, rate the main dangers. Detective is also shortlisted,

  1. PEARLY SQUIRREL (IRE)
  2. SANDITON (IRE)
  3. TAKTEEK
