      Verdict

      Charlotto Carlotti, Romantic Destiny and Lady Benjamin are the three against the field here and Charlotti Carlotti appears to be the percentage call in this small field. Lady Benjamin won over this course and distance two outings ago, and chased home Runswick Bay in a competitive nursery at Pontefract on Tuesday. She is a consistent type, and providing those exertions have not taken too much out of her she can go well. Kevin Ryan's Romantic Destiny has filled the runner up spot in her two recent starts, staying on well in the closing stages, suggesting she can appreciate a longer trip. After shaping well on her Thirsk bow, finishing second, Charlotti Carlotti was thrown into the deep end in the Listed Hilary Needler at Beverley, finishing unplaced, but she confirmed her ability when landing the odds at Ayr last time in smooth style. That was a convincing display and Charlotti Carlotti can score again here.
