      Verdict

      This fillies' handicap has a trappy look to it, with all five having a squeak and we'll side with TTAL OF SAAFEND to land it from Hall Hee. This mile trip and decent ground will suit Peter Monteith-trained Talk Of Saafend, who has been well placed by his handler to win at Kempton, Yarmouth and Hamilton already this month. An extra 6lb means she might feel the pinch a bit here, but the manner of her most recent success suggests she hasn't finished winning yet. Hall Hee travels north to represent Marcus Tregoning and broke her maiden at Bath last time. The handicapper has not let her in lightly here but she is open to improvement and would not be a shock winner. Hula Ballew is back on a reasonable mark and conditions will suit, so can get competitive, Goodbye probably wants a drop in the weights but has conditions and trip to suit, while Debonnaire is likely to find improvement for this extra furlong and could run a big race. We'll take Talk Of Saafend to be head girl here.
