    Verdict

    Dollar Chick gets the vote here ahead of Rosbay, with Ingleby Flame also of interest in the opener. The selection went well when a half length second to Hucking Hot at Beverley on debut and there certainly looked to be more to come. Given that she receives 9lb here and she comes from a yard going very well we will side with her to beat Rosbay. Tim Easterby's colt took a while to get the hang of things but went in when stepped up to this trip last time and he should go very close once more. Ingleby Flame looks best of the rest but even with improvement for his defeat by Rosbay on debut he will probably be found wanting here and we prefer Dollar Chick to take home the money.
