      Verdict

      A cracking contest as you would expect for a Listed event, with the likes of Bali Royal, Speed Cop Dragon Flyer, Hufflepuff and Olivia Grace, who is favoured by the conditions of this race and is given the vote. Well placed to win a conditions event at Nottingham, Terry Mills' tough mare should have nothing to fear from Bali Royal, who was nine-lengths behind her that day and meets her on the same terms here. The speedy Hufflepuff would receiving weight if this was a handicap, as would Dragon Flyer, so it may be left to the only three-year-old in the field, Speed Cop, to chase the selection home. Andrew Balding's filly is well named as she showed when tackling some of the best sprinters last term and was twice placed in Group company. If stripping fit after her break, she could prove troublesome, but Olivia Grace, with that run under her belt, is taken to come out on top.
