      Verdict

      Mrs Philip gets the confident vote here with Daisy Dale and Tisho the only others worthy of serious consideration. Mrs Philip won well when beating River Reine at Exeter last month, and looks to have been given the perfect opportunity to follow up. She looked to have won with a bit in hand on that day, so is difficult to oppose here. Daisy Dale is a danger but he was well beaten behind Toi Express at Wincanton last month and will have to improve to trouble our selection. Tisho could therefore represent a bigger danger as he finished third behind Diamant Noir in an above average race at Towcester earlier this month. A reproduction of that effort could see Tisho go close here, but Mrs Philips is in good heart at present and gets the vote.
