      Verdict

      Miss Bootylishes was good value for her success at Chepstow when last seen in July and the Andy Haynes-trained filly has solid claims on that evidence but the faster ground today may not be to her advantage and preference is for AZURE MIST, with Billberry rated the best of the rest. The selection has been running consistently well without winning of late but can race off a fair mark as a result and, with Mark Tompkins having his string in good heart at present, she looks worth chancing over a trip that does suit. Luca Cumani's Sham Sheer has been well held in recent starts and is hard to back with any confidence despite having been given a chance by the handicapper. Diamond Twister has shown improved form on the Polytrack of late but he is seemingly not as good on turf so looks best watched. Billberry ran better over six furlongs at Newmarket last time, has won over seven before and any market support for the Stuart Williams-trained filly would be of interest. She rates the main threat to the selection, Azure Mist.
