        Verdict

        Mo Henry remains 6lb higher than his earlier win at Ayr and the in-form Gilmer carries a penalty and is upped in class after winning over 5f here last week. Ginzan has been thereabouts in this grade since scoring at Bath last month but Monarch Maid is hard to catch right and Layla's Hero has been running well in plating races. NIGHTINGALE VALLEY opened her account with a maiden win at Windsor last month. Open to further progress, she gets the vote.
