        Verdict

        OPTIVA STAR (NAP) halted the hat-trick bid of Heer's Sadie here earlier this month and the runner-up has a chance in the previous race so Richard Hannon's charge can go in again. Batchelor Boy is a three-times track winner and Hollie Doyle has been booked but Media Guest was beaten a couple of lengths from this mark at Leicester. Spanish Mane gained the 11th victory of her career at Lingfield last month and has only been raised 2lb but Storymaker is still a maiden and may need to drop a few pounds.
