      Verdict

      None can be dismissed out of hand though three of these disappointed on their latest starts. Rare drops down in trip after finishing a well-beaten third at Kempton while Saint Diana finished six lengths behind the winner when runner-up at Hamilton and Janabiya never figured at Doncaster. Ceramist was only fourth at Windsor recently but that was her first start of the year and better is expected from her but the vote goes to SKILL SET, beaten only a head over today’s trip at Newbury on last month’s debut and likely to go close with normal improvement.
