        Verdict

        Star Vega ran a highly encouraging race last time when a strong-finishing fifth in a Newmarket nursery (Dimple Lighter held) and, with the extra furlong in his favour, is handed the TEAMtalk vote. Willie Musson's filly is lightly raced and open to plenty of improvement so should go well having proved herself in the conditions. Flighty Fellow is in excellent heart at present but is 7lb higher than his Catterick success and is more exposed than the selection while Exzilarating faces a stiff task on his nursery bow and Albany looks held off his current mark.
