      Verdict

      Kalagia is the only three-year-old in this and is starting to slip down the weights again. She’s won at Carlisle and Bath this year and is much respected but this could be another for the Dalgleish stable as WHATSTHEMESSAGE is well treated nowadays and hasn’t been beaten far in most starts this year, including over 7f here last time. Lucky Violet has been in good form for a while and has a decent record here. She has won off a higher mark but Forever A Lady was only fourth in this last year.
