      Verdict

      LABISA should find these conditions more to her liking than at Pontefract when last seen and she is taken to see off the in-form Beautiful Filly. Hugh Morrison's High Chaparral filly has been given three months off since a flop at Pontefract last time out. She returns to this trip which also looks in her favour and she has run well at the track before. A rival with lots in her favour is the in-form Beautiful Filly. She looks likely to get the strong pace that she needs and from a good draw she looks unlikely to be far away. Course winner Weet A Surprise has stamina questions to answer, Langland Bay is unexposed but has plenty to prove after a Southwell flop last time out, whilst LA Gifted has lots of engagements this week and may need a hand from the handicapper before she can win one of them. Flying Valentino and Miss Eze both come here out of sorts but as a result each is edging down the weights and is able to contest a 0-75 handicap for the first time in a while. The consistent Bold Ring must be considered, however this finale can go the way of Labisa.
