        Verdict

        House Call was having only her second start for Gordon Elliott when scoring over a shorter trip at Hamilton and carries 5lb extra while Zealous recorded his earlier success over 1m1f. Iconic Code and George Ridsdale are others stepping up in distance but Frightened Rabbit moves in the opposite direction having finished runner-up over 1m4f at Hamilton last week. But THREE CASTLES won a higher grade contest in testing going over course and distance in August and Keith Dagleish’s charge may come out best in this racing back over today’s trip for the first time since.
