        Verdict

        Some unexposed and potentially smart fillies in opposition make this a tough call but Al Ihtithar has proven winning form in the mud and gets the TEAMtalk verdict. The daughter of Barathea scored an impressive victory over this trip at Lingfield last month and, with further improvement to come, should prove hard to beat. Crystal Star made the perfect start to her racing career when lifting a Haydock maiden last month and could well be good enough although the soft ground is a concern for this Mark Of Esteem filly. Garmoucheh landed a competitive Newmarket nursery last time off a mark of 83 but more is required at this level while Elidore is a little more exposed but has place claims and the exciting Jummana should also be noted.
