      Verdict

      ALEQA makes most appeal in the opener. A C&D winner, she won off today's mark at Folkestone last year and this looks a good opportunity for Chris Wall's filly to return to winning ways. Ela Gonda Mou is lightly-raced and tries this shorter trip for the first time after finishing a respectable fourth in Listed company last time, while Sairaam's earlier form entitles her to consideration but she's posted a couple of below par efforts recently. The remaining trio have plenty to find though Gambatte has scope for improvement.
