    Verdict

    Plenty of imponderables exist about most of these and it is a race to approach with degree of caution. However, something has to win and it may be prudent to stick with the in-form Belinda, who narrowly edges it over Taffy dancer, Royal Axminster and the conistent front-runner Lazzaz. Belinda arrives here on the back of a solid performance at Wolverhampton eleven days ago; where the fitting of the first-time tongue strap brought about a much better effort from the Mizoram mare. She does have 5lb extra to carry for those efforts but she is a tough and genuine performer and may have too much toe for Taffy Dancer if she can repeat her latest effort on this surface tonight.
