        Verdict

        A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be La Colline, Scotland The Brave and Amy Louise with the narrow vote given to La Colline. The selection won a maiden in good style last time out when beating The Grey One, she enters handicaps off what looks a handy mark and under conditions that suit she will be hard to beat. Scotland The Brave rates the main danger on her best form as she will like the ground but she just gave the impression the handicaper had caught up eith her when second behind Amy Louise last time. Amy Louise is sure to have her supporters as she won well last time but consistency is not her strong point and at likely odds she looks worth taking on. Of the remainder, Hansomelle is handily weighted on her best form and could go well at a price but for the winner we are happy to return to the unexposed La Colline.
