      Verdict

      Abidhabidubai showed enough in a couple of starts last year to suggest she can win a race at this level and any strong support for her in the betting should be noted on her reappearance, but HIS GRACE is given another chance. He returned to action with a respectable third over 6f at Folkestone and, with that run under his belt and this longer trip likely to suit, he gets the nod. Shadow Catcher was placed twice last year but will need to have improved since to get off the mark here, though Ivy And Gold did slightly better on his latest start at Southwell.
