        Verdict

        Orphan posted a good effort on his seasonal reappearance, and will be a popular choice ahead of Mitchelland, Robinzal and Colonial Girl. Karl Burke is double-handed here, but Orphan looks by far the one to be on after his short-head second to Bold Haze at Ripon last week. That was the gelding's first run in a handicap, and he acquitted himself well, held up just off the pace before failing by a whisker to overhaul the winner. That was a big improvement on anything that he had shown as a two-year-old, and a similar run here should suffice. Mitchelland was fourth in last year's Brocklesby and went on to beat the odds-on Bibury Flyer over five furlongs on this track. She seemed to go downhill afterwards though, and her win in an all-weather nursery at Wolverhampton was nothing special. However, she was not disgraced at the weights on her return to Turf at Haydock, and may be about to recapture her form, so rates the main danger. Robinzal was behind the selection at Ripon and despite being slightly better off should still be held, while her stablemate Colonial Girl has topweight and was stone last in maiden company last time. All in all, Orphan sets the standard and is very much the one to be on.
