      Verdict

      Chepstow maiden winner Java Rose may be the pick of the older fillies ahead of the returning Infinite Hope and Windsor specialist Choral Festival but she was readily brushed aside at Pontefract off today's mark on her handicap debut. The hat-trick-seeking Prospera must go on the short-list but is upped in grade here and the handicapper may have a grip on Newmarket third Pivotal Silence now. BANTAM couldn't cope with the unbeaten Court Pastoral at Thirsk but was clear of the third and readily accounted for Shalwa at Windsor earlier. Though 3lb worse off, Ed Dunlop's charge can confirm that form and land this.
