        Verdict

        Mark Johnston last won this contest in 2003 with Attraction and though VOCATIONAL will do well to match the former's exploits, she still looks a smart filly in the making. A winning debutant at Warwick, she then improved to finish second in a Listed race at York behind the unbeaten Miss Work Of Art and is just preferred here to the latter's stablemate Lily's Angel. Richard Fahey's filly made it three straight wins when scoring at Chester last time and looks sure to go close, while Queens Revenge beat another Fahey filly when winning at Ripon on her debut and she too is one to consider. Chevanah, Majestic Rose and Dozy will need to improve to keep up with the principals, but the latter represents last year's winning trainer/jockey combination and may do so.
