      Verdict

      Wadacre Grace and Victoria Falls won their penultimate starts and ran well again last time. The latter beat Karatayka a length at Wolverhampton but Alex French’s charge may well turn the tables on better terms. ENGLES ROCK (NAP) won off a similar mark at Ayr last year and with a recent outing here under her belt and Lucinda Russell’s yard landing a double on the Flat at Doncaster on Saturday, she gets the nod. Biplane is preferred to the returning Strangerontheshore of the rest.
