      Verdict

      Irene May hasn't recaptured the form that saw her unbeaten in two juvenile starts and was soon beaten in this grade at Sandown last week. LORNA COLE has won at Lingfield and Newcastle and very nearly lost her maiden tag on Turf at Ffos Las 12 days ago. She can take this as though Ever Rock scored here and at Windsor in June she struggled from her higher mark subsequently, though is now just 1lb higher than her last victory. Bluebell Time has yet to win but will have needed her recent run on this track where she led for a long way.
