        Verdict

        Zaphea has only finished out of the frame once in her last five outings but is closely matched with Swiftly on Beverley running. Archie Young has already ridden a couple of winners this year for Charlie Johnston and his 7lb claim will come in handy on LADY SHOWCASING, who would be the pick on her form earlier in the season. Sergeant Mayer could threaten the places but Blue Moon Baby seems to be regressing.
