    Verdict

    None of these are easily dismissed so only a speculative vote goes the way of REESHA. She's one of the least exposed having beaten a subsequent winner in a maiden race at Leicester. Bobby Benton and Billy Blue are other maiden winners to consider while Master Dancer ran well on his reappearance over track and trip. Raise Your Gaze finished ahead of Best Kept when fourth at Goodwood and can race off the same mark here while both Cotton Club and Ganges also have a shout after making the frame on their latest starts.
