      Verdict

      Tcherina and Just Observing both won well last time out but the form of the first-named looks the most solid and she can follow up again. Clueless makes it to the shortlist. The selection showed a great attitude to hold on well at York in May and still looks on a decent mark. The market will be informative for Tim Easterby's runner but if the money comes it might be wise to follow. Just Observing held on to get the verdict in a kodak moment at Pontefract last time out and with the ground to suit this evening, he looks sure to run a big race and aged just four he may have improvement to come. Shape Up sounds like a good idea in theory but he is 8lbs above his highest winning mark so can be readily opposed. Clueless has been jumping but returns to the flat on a winning mark. Rule him out at your peril is the advice. However Tcherina is a mare in form and gets the nod.
