        Verdict

        In the opener, Bitooh is selected ahead of Pediment and Ballora. A good second at Chepstow last time, Ballora looks set to go well. The Saeed Bin Suroor-trained Bitooh cost 340,000 guineas, is very well bred and is another obvious player. Heavenly Saint showed promise prior to a disappointing run here last time so the jury is out on her now, while Keep Your Head will need to step up on her Wolverhampton debut run if she is to feature today. Back to the scene of her debut third here, from a race that has worked out well, Pediment should be given plenty of thought, and Tamdiid is very much a potential improver trying this surface for the first time. Finally, Express Princess and Evette are interesting on breeding but were cheaply acquired. Once again, then, the selection is Bitooh.
