      Verdict

      Unsuspected Girl would have a chance if taking part but was due to run at Chelmsford yesterday. Intrigue won over 1m2f at Pontefract but was easily beaten over today’s trip last time and the veteran SALIENT is preferred. Mike Attwater’s charge popped-up at Kempton recently and won off a higher mark last year despite a 5lb rise. Iona Island has a shout on her earlier third at Newmarket but the remainder are harder to fancy.
