Verdict

In the last of the six races, Hanella is selected ahead of Theatre Royal, Regent's Park and Odessa Star. Regent's Park was disappointing last time but the drop back in trip today should see her in a better light. Odessa Star holds claims if able to transfer her all-weather form to Turf, although that is by no means certain. Hanella improved for the step up to today's trip last time and, even though she has been raised two pounds for that win, can go well today. Gouranga is a potential improver, while Theatre Royal is a pound better off for the head that Hanella beat her at Bath, which brings her into things as well. In what is not the strongest of finales the vote, once again, goes to Hanella.
