        Verdict

        Plenty of potential improvers in a tricky race with Cara Fantasy just preferred ahead of Border Tale, Banningham Blaze and Field Spark. John Dunlop's Cara Fantasy is bred to appreciate middle distances and showed she had progressed through the winter when making a winning return in an ordinary maiden at Leicester earlier in the month. The daughter of Sadler's Wells looks capable of making significant improvement this term and gets the vote to follow up on her handicap debut. Border Tale represents solid handicap form after finishing a close second over this trip at Ripon last time and looks sure to give another good account. Beverley winner Banningham Blaze found ten furlongs too sharp last time and will prove more effective over her optimum trip while Field Spark comes here in good heart and can't be dismissed off a low weight.
