    Verdict

    A modest contest where Tahirah can build on a promising effort on her debut at Haydock and the Alec Stewart-trained Three-year-old is fancied to get the better of Rossellini and Akrmina, who both look to be heading for minor handicaps in future. The selection, a daughter of Green Desert, was running on well behind a potentially useful sort from the James Given yard on her debut and a repeat dose on this firm ground can see her home. Rossellini has to be respected after a couple of near misses and is sure be the subject of strong support if the Fallon factor comes into play. However, the fact that she needs to start improving pretty quickly if she is to stay with her illustrious trainer and may just be vulnerable to a less exposed type. Tahirah fits the bill. Akrmina should get the better of Hoopz for third place.
