      Verdict

      Both Ebbesbourne and Native Soldier won maiden races last year and go handicapping for the first time along with last month’s course and distance winner Itsakindamagic. Indian Dandy won a handicap here last time but had earlier finished second to the unbeaten MYSTIQUE MOON at Newcastle. The latter gets a tentative vote in wide-open contest with the other Godophin runner, Arabian Hope, another to consider on her easy maiden win at Kempton earlier in the month.
