      Verdict

      Koropick placed in a higher grade at Thirsk eight days ago and the booking of Danny Tudhope is a positive. Denzil's Laughing won off a 3lb higher mark at Catterick at the start of the season and Roydmoor has been threatening to get off the mark but it might be worth giving another chance to RORY, who missed the break at Musselburgh after opening his account over this track and trip last month. The Gloaming is preferred to the penalised Glorious Rio of the others.
