        In depth

        Verdict

        EYE SMILING has got her act together and beat a subsequent dual winner at Chelmsford before defying a penalty with a wide-margin success at Hamilton last week. David O’Meara’s progressive filly is worth sticking with at this level and is preferred to Port Noir. The latter opened her account with a victory over the minimum trip here on her reappearance and is 5lb higher while Somekindasuperstar is getting closer and headgear is applied having placed at Doncaster last time. Diamonds And Rust will be winning a handicap soon and will be sharper for a recent outing on the all-weather.
