      Verdict

      Duchess Of Fife scored at this level over the course and distance before finishing last of four when attempting 1m2f in better company at Lingfield. She has a chance to get back on track here while Fastnet Spin is a real mudlark as she showed in heavy going at Ffos Las for which she's penalised. With the going likely to dry out she may not be as effective but Royal Melody should be suited by the conditions though she's been performing at a lower level. TITAN GODDESS completed a hat-trick at this time last year and she's back on a fair mark. She wouldn't want any more rain but looked on the way back at Brighton last time and gets a tentative vote. Zaria is another who has slipped to a decent mark and she can get involved in a tricky handicap.
