      Verdict

      BEYOND MEASURE was pulled up last time at Bangor having finished last at Doncaster the time before. But she did finish second at Fakenham in December so is probably the one to beat in a race in which it may not pay to get too heavily involved. Shaluna did win between the flags a year ago but her efforts under Rules so far have left much to be desired. None of the others with experience have shown much either and Running Squaw is a modestly-bred nine-year-old seeing a racecourse for the first time.
