      Verdict

      An interesting nursery in which most have claims of some sort however Choisette has won over course and distance and so Brian Smart's filly gets the vote ahead of Angle Of Attack. The selection is very consistent and rewarded those who sided with her last time at Wolverhampton, despite being a skinny enough price. She is best over this minimum trip and she should run well despite a rather harsh-looking 8lb rise. Angle Of Attack has also gone up in the weights for a good win last time out, whilst Blue Eyed Miss takes a drop in grade but if able to dominate from the front now back over this trip, she really could be hard to beat. Style Award looks to be high enough in the weights at present, whilst Speedy Senorita's last win came in selling company and she needs to improve. Eager Diva shouldn't be overlooked as she shapes as if the return to this trip may show her in a better light. An open race then, and Choisette gets the nod.
