      Verdict

      Hi Clare, a winner at Wolverhampton in September, was having her first subsequent start when a close third at Hamilton last month so should make a bold bid. Another Wolverhampton winner, PEARL EYE, has steadily improved this campaign and looked well at home on the fast ground at Haydock so a 4lb rise looks manageable. Tasever has yet to win but performed well in stronger company at York last time but Fariba ran poorly at Newmarket.
