        Verdict

        From a shortlist containing Double M, Inch By Inch and Hard To Catch, we will side with Hard To Catch. Now, to start with, Double M is not that badly weighted and comes here on the back of a fair Windsor run, while Inch By Inch comes firmly into the reckoning following her Brighton win, even though she is carrying a penalty for that win. Hard To Catch is five pounds better off for nearly five lengths based on that race, while Fair Compton is just held by Hard To Catch based on that form. With Hard To Catch having won over course and distance here in February 2004 from a one-pound higher mark, he is capable of going well today. Adantino has a chance based on Wolverhampton form, while Whippasnapper is not too far above a winning mark, but this course and distance winner has not been doing so well of late. Riquewihr looks held by Hard To Catch on course and distance form of July 9th. Finally, Tapa is a possible improver with the headgear on, while Extremely Rare certainly has a chance on her Wolverhampton form with Rezzago, so a good run is not out of the question. However, we will side with Hard To Catch, although his draw is a concern.
