Formscan By John O'Riordan - Topweight VERA VERTO might be able to make her class tell in this tight knit contest. A winner off just 2lb lower at Newmarket in October, the Gavin Cromwell-trained mare has been highly tried in Listed races of late. While facing no easy task against five smart opponents here, the daughter of Prince Of Lir could well be up to the job. Ulster Oaks runner-up Fiver Friday has been a revelation for connections all season. Left on a mark of 85 despite just losing out by a short head last time, the four-year-old has to be a contender. With plenty of pace likely despite the small field, Yokkell is one that could benefit from being produced late under her experienced pilot.
