      Verdict

      An ordinary handicap to conclude the card and we take Granary Girl to prove too strong for Kristalchen and So Elegant. The selection runs from a mark4lb below that of her last win, which came at Lingfield last October. She stays this trip well, enjoys fast ground and looks like the one to be on. Kristalchen beat Regency Red a short-head in a claimer here last week and carries a 6lb penalty as a result. That will make this a fair bit tougher and her handicap form has been poor, so we will oppose. So Elegant will get every yard of this but has not won out of Banded company and will have to raise her game to take this, but Granary Girl is at home in this standard and can take the prize.
