        Verdict

        Mark Johnston could hardly be in better form at present and the Middleham handler is taken to strike with Pantone while Hoh Buzzard, Leave To Appeal and Fleet Of Light are others to consider. The selection has progressed well this term winning two of her three starts including a convincing success at Sandown last time out which strongly suggests that a subsequent 6lb rise is unlikely to halt her progress. Hoh Buzzard has been far from discredited in three outings this term and is better than her third in a Sandown classified stakes last time would suggest as she found trouble in running. Michael Bell's filly looks a lively danger from the foot of the handicap while Fleet Of Light represents an in-form yard and has to be respected on her handicap debut after landing a Beverley maiden last time. Leave To Appeal made a winning debut in the Wood Ditton Stakes at Newmarket's Craven meeting but it looked a below average renewal and Luca Cumani's filly has had her limitations exposed since so Pantone looks the safest choice.
