        Verdict

        Reyaadah began her career in fine style but hasn't progressed as expected and was well behind Hot Snap in the Nell Gwyn on her reappearance. Keeping's Dundalk victory over Bint Nayef doesn't look quite good enough but her compatriot Salhooda is expected to do well over middle-distances this year. Gertrude Versed has only raced on Polytrack but was such an easy winner at Kempton that she shouldn't be dismissed but it's THE LARK who gets the vote. Michael Bell's filly is by PIvotal out of a mare who won over 1m6f so this sort of trip and further should be ideal. She's entered for the Oaks and can take this on the way to Epsom.
