A race which features some notable newcomers from various high-profile stables, namely
Aviary,
Brave Blossom and
Shababiya. Therefore, until reaching the foot of the race card this had promised to be a tricky race to solve. However, with the Clive Cox-trained
VERBENA declared to race, it's undeniable that she sets the clear form standard, and barring an absolute deluge of rain she should prove immensely difficult to beat. She made a most promising start to her racing career when third to the potentially useful Pomelo (Ralph Beckett) at Newbury 23 days ago.
