Verdict

VIOLET GOLDSMITH took her form up a notch when getting off the mark at Chepstow 7 weeks ago with the runner-up that day having gone in since, Eve Johnson Houghton's filly is fancied to make light of a 3 lb rise. Her main threat may emerge from Box Clever, who recaptured her best form at Windsor last time and a repeat puts her well in the mix. Crimson Sunset rounds off the shortlist with any rain only enhancing her chance.
