      Verdict

      Just Julie probably has the best form on offer among those to have raced previously judged by her reappearance second at Leicester earlier this month and Neville Callaghan's filly has to be respected but the newcomer Moraine would not need to be out of the ordinary to make a winning start to her career and she is preferred with Act Three rated the best of the rest. The selection is stoutly bred being a daughter of Rainbow Quest out of a Sanglamore mare so she should relish this trip and Roger Charlton's filly is taken to make a winning debut. Valart is becoming expensive to follow, while Lady Dedlock gave little sign of encouragement on her first start. Act Three is bred to be useful over middle distances and could be of interest but preference is for the more appealing Moraine.
