      Verdict

      A tight contest with only 2lb separating the seven runners on official ratings. Opera Dancer signed off with a win on the Polytrack last season and Galloping Queen went close over C&D in August. Firstknight and L'Hermitage can improve on their recent comeback efforts but a chance is taken on SAHAFH. Her form tailed off after a couple of placed efforts over 7f last summer, but Saeed Bin Suroor boasts an impressive strike rate with his three-year-olds at this track and his filly gets the vote stepping up in trip on her reappearance.
