        Verdict

        A tricky race featuring a number of possibles but Kindlelight Debut is the suggestion to small stakes while And Toto Too, Donegal Dancer and Little Venice are others to consider. Dean Ivory's charge opened her account in a competitive Salisbury handicap in June and has put up a number of creditable performances in defeat since. The Groom Dancer filly ran particularly well at Windsorl last time when a close third behind some useful yardsticks, despite refusing to settle in the early stages. The selection will prove better suited by the furlong shorter trip and can defy a 1lb higher mark under Brett Doyle. And Toto Too was given too much to do last time but has claims on earlier efforts including a comfortable victory over this trip at Lingfield last month while front runner Little Venice remains in good form and won't be easy to peg back. Donegal Dancer is not the easiest to predict but should be on the premises if repeating the form of his placed effort at Doncaster last time but Kindlelight Debut is the percentage call.
