In depth
Verdict
Dispol Veleta ran an encouraging race at Thirsk last week and is expected to be hard to beat with a similar effort today. Keshya and Showtime Annie can provide the selection with the most to do. The last named does have a little to prove regarding her ability to handle the ground though and makes limited appeal for win only purposes. Keshya is open to improvement and is worth another try at this trip. However, she has already had several chances and does not look the most resilient in a finish. Therefore, we side with Dispol Veleta, who at least knows what to do when she gets her head in front and is fancied to be too tough for this lot when it really matters.
