      Verdict

      FILLYDELPHIA has recorded both wins so far over track and trip including her latest start. Today’s faster ground is a worry but the opposition inspires little confidence so Patrick Holmes’ mare should go close again. Whitchurch was over three lengths behind the selection last month and Operateur was a well beaten third at Nottingham recently. Rockabilly Riot has won once in 28 starts on the Flat while Merchant Of Medici recorded all three of last year’s wins at Haydock though is back on a winning mark.
