      Verdict

      Already a course winner, Pickle is in great form and we cannot oppose her as she bids for a four-timer here. Go Solo and Malibu should give her most to do. The latter improved by making all at Brighton last time and this track should suit, so he cannot be ruled out from a five pound higher mark. Go Solo got no luck in running when favourite at Haydock last time and is certainly better than that. Barry Hills' charge had earlier finished a length behind Habanero at Sandown and should be able to reverse form on six pounds better terms. But Pickle is still the one to beat. Having won cosily over seven furlongs here a fortnight ago, she has followed up in double quick fashion with wins at Leicester and then looked better than ever when stepped up to thisd trip at Newmarket last week. She is effectively only five pounds higher this evening, and should be followed until the handicapper catches up with her.
