        Verdict

        It took Fact Or Fable 26 attempts to finally win on Turf but he did so at Brighton last time. Letter Of The Law scored over a longer trip at the same Brighton fixture but SYMPATHISE has the more scope. The latter came good at Wolverhampton on only her fifth outing and there looks more to come over this extra distance. Lilandra won here last season and may prove best of the rest.
