DAPHNE : Four-year-old bay filly,winning 4 out 10.Shown progressive form this season winning two races,including winning the 1M 5F River Eden listed stakes at Lingfield in fast time.Has 12lb to find on official ratings,though looks open to plenty more improvement on All Weather.Each-way claims .

VERDICT : RED VERDON should go well,after just getting touched off over C&D in Listed Floodlit stakes at Kempton earlier this month,that looked decent effort trying concede 10lb to the useful Mark Johnstone filly Titi Makfi.Odds around 10-3 look very fair value.

Mountain Bell has been lightly raced this season,though looks the main danger after making promising reappearance in G3 St Simon stakes in October.Looks interesting contender ,though is unproven on All Weather surfaces .
