      Verdict

      Richard Hughes has trained the winner of the last two renewals but maiden winner Swiss Pride will need to improve on recent efforts having finished just behind Key To Power at Bath though neither threatened the winner. Pink Flamingo bids for a hat-trick raised 6lb having won over a shorter trip here last time but LEOPARDINA (NAP) is preferred. The latter just missed out at Redcar on her return to action and beat a couple of subsequent winners along with the re-opposing Vikivaki in the process. She gets the nod to go one better with the in-form Oisin Murphy getting the leg-up today.
