        Verdict

        This isn't much better than a seller and a chance is taken with Southern raider Truly Wonderful, who has at least shown she knows how to win. Out of a mare that won over 12-furlongs, there should be no doubt about her staying this trip and she is taken to make the long journey north pay off. Senor Bond doesn't look to have done enough to justify his rating, but Willjojo could well have been let in here of a lenient mark. She had the 62 rated Emperor Cat three-lengths away when runner-up at Thirsk and the handicapper may have taken a chance in allotting the filly a mark of just 59. Jomus can be forgiven his latest effort as he was hampered leaving the stalls, and Oddsmaker will be much happier over this trip, having failed to get home over a mile. However, we will stick with Truly Wonderful, who had the option of a couple of other engagements this week.
