      Verdict

      TRUE PLEASURE makes most appeal in this having gone close off today's mark over 7f at Catterick last week. The longer trip and soft going are no problem for James Bethell's mare and she gets the nod. Bridie Ffrench failed to cope in better company last time but was narrowly beaten in this grade at Doncaster before that while Trixie Malone won a plating race at Catterick before running poorly back in a handicap last time. Invoke usually finds at least one too good and the ex-French filly Tea Gown is hard to assess on her arrow defeat at Compiegne in October.
