        In depth

        Verdict

        The call here goes to Efrhina who just gets the vote ahead of Yenaled and Oldenway. Efrhina's credentials are that she has won from today's mark, at this track over 11 furlongs, and comes here in good heart following a win. For us these add up to a competitive profile today. Yenaled, who won from a 10-pounds higher mark here in November 2004, must surely be competitive of getting anywhere near that level of form, although his November form leaves something to be desired. Oldenway, who is due to rise by four pounds in future ratings, narrowly holds Khanjar on a recent course and distance run, and we feel that the form will be confirmed, while Victory Quest, who goes well here, has track winning form over 14 and 16 furlongs, which might see him getting done for a little bit of toe today. Sorbiesharry has won from a higher rating at Wolverhampton, but not beyond nine furlongs, while it has been a while since J R Stevenson entered the winner's enclosure, and Blue Opal has more to do than when landing a course maiden, although she does appear to be improving. Overall, though, we will stick with Efrhina.
