        Verdict

        Gargoyle Girl is an improving mare and although 4lb higher than when winning at York, she could still be well treated. The lightly weighted Bodfari Signet is better known as a hurdler, but he still retains a little ability on the flat and with Dale Gibson taking over from an apprentice, he must go well on his favoured fast ground. Spa Lane has been in good form of late and he, along with Toni Alcala are others to consider.
