        Verdict

        Martineo has won four of nine starts on the all-weather though has yet to encounter soft going. Oriental Lilly’s recent success at Newcastle came over the minimum trip while Full Intention drops down in distance after scoring over 7f at Chelmsford. Quick Breath has also been thereabouts over 7f recently but would prefer a faster surface while Followthesteps is having only his second outing on Turf having missed last season. Fantasy Keeper hails from last year’s winning yard but The Right Choice is preferred having won in soft ground at Pontefract last term, though MOLLS MEMORY has more scope. Ed Walker’s filly finished runner-up at Thirsk on last month’s reappearance and gets the vote to open her account in this given the winner went on to land a hat-trick.
