        Verdict

        Tadaawol is reunited with winning partner Ben Sanderson having won at Carlisle in May while Wild Hope scored over 7f at the same meeting but is now 9lb higher. Excelcius won a maiden over 7f at Dundalk last year and Ger Lyons’ charge could go well but AMADEUS GREY was beaten less than a length when third at Haydock last month and Tim Easterby’s grey gets another chance racing off the same mark today. Lucky Violet and Calvados Spirit were both due to run here yesterday.
