        Verdict

        Transcendent looks interesting against Talamahana and Rhode Island Red. James Bethell's charge ran moderately against much better opposition in the past and as a consequence, a plating mark has been obtained. There was plenty of interest ahead of a recent Lingfield event and if able to reproduce that form on this occasion, he can give us a good run for our money at the likely odds. Talamaha needs no introduction but is on a long losing run. Harry Dunlop's juveniles looked very backward last term so a first time visored, Rhode Island Red could be interesting. With a little time since her last outing, it would be no surprise to see her produce a much improved effort. The well bred Neyraan is sure to be popular for the Mark Johnston stable. Run From Nun didnt show a lot when with Jamie Osborne but was not disgraced on debut for John Berry. Seductive Wish is still a maiden and is probably better than her recent Kempton run suggests. A moderate handicap and one in which Transcendent is selected to minimum stakes.
