      Verdict

      Dafne will probably be sent off as a short priced favourite entirely due to her connections, not on the evidence of the form book. Norwood Origo looks to be a safer option with a proven level of ability and the form of his latest run in a Yarmouth handicap, where he was fourth, received a boost when the third, Alrida was an impressive winner next time.
