        Verdict

        Tcherina can give weight and a beating all around although Ever Rigg and Ceka Dancer look dangers. Good ground appears to bring out the best in Tim Easterby's six-year-old and while it is a slight concern that she has been beaten at this track previously, she could be well treated on her old lines of form. Ed Dunlop's stable are sending out winners so Ever Rigg is respected. The filly has ran respectably at Kempton on her most recent start. Ceka Dancer is in receipt of lumps of weight. She is still yet to prove whether she has trained on or not but the market is nevertheless watched. Prelude won a bad race at Chester. She is consistent enough. Golden Dagger hasn't won for a while and is back in cheekpieces. Pure Song is making a handicap debut. Flam narrowly failed to land a gamble at Leicester earlier in the month over 10 furlongs. Sweet Sara was always handy at Redcar when scoring over ten furlongs. She appears capable of more. Tcherina gets the vote in a trappy contest.
