Verdict

GERRY'S DARLING has one of the most solid profiles on show and looks sure to give her running having coped with some good to soft ground last time and the fact she's well drawn is another boost. Somers Isles is by far the least exposed and is respected for top stable from stall 2, while Absolute Diamond also has some factors in her favour so could bounce back from a tame effort.
