        Verdict

        BRACKEN BRAE (NAP) won three times at the track last year, including this race, and went in again over 2m here last month. She looks sure to figure again with Gabriele Malune’s allowance further helping her cause. Mystikana won over 1m4f at Lingfield under today’s apprentice but is upped 6lb. Casablanca is more interesting as she opened her account with a maiden win at the latter track and it was long way back to the third. Oratorio's Joy is a course and distance winner in the past and is back on a winning mark while Heart Locket reversed earlier running with Fast Play when second at Wolverhampton and could also figure.
