        Verdict

        Neither Artful Lady nor Idle Curiosity were able to follow up earlier victories last time. Both race off the same mark today so another chance goes to BIRDIE KING. John Best's charge ran better than his sixth over track and trip earlier this month would suggest and he has enough scope to turn the tables with runner-up Sally Bruce in this. Ridgeway Sapphire made the frame over course and distance back in June and could also be thereabouts.
