      Verdict

      Hard to call this with only 3lb separating the field on official ratings. Gabrial's Lexi and Jericho are similar in that they both posted poor efforts last time on the back of good runs and have something to prove now. Dubious Escapade and Naseem Alyasmeen failed to win last year though both showed enough to suggest a race can be found for them this season and they make more appeal than Symphony Star and Topanga Canyon. A chance is taken that LADY SYLVIA lasts home over today's longer trip as she won her maiden in good style over 7f at Kempton on her return and Joseph Tuite's filly looks to be going the right way.
