        Verdict

        Mark Johnston's horses are flying and the three-year-old Plagiarism looks on a fair mark despite a 2lb rise for finishing third at Haydock. Oh So Sassy, four times a winner on the all-weather, gained her first victory on Turf at Doncaster earlier this month but an 8lb rise takes her on to her highest ever mark. Ted Durcan was on board MARMALADY when she scored over this trip on ground with some give at Goodwood but not when she ran over 6f on a return visit. He's reunited here and Robert Cowell's mare gets the nod though the stable's Green Door has been racing in better company without disgracing himself and could provide the main threat.
