        Verdict

        Mark Walford has his string in excellent shape at present and CAPE HIDEAWAY should go well for the Sheriff Hutton handler after a solid runner-up effort at Redcar last month. A previous Redcar third behind Dew Pond reads well too as the winner has gone to notch two more victories and the selection will endure no stamina concerns and will hopefully handle conditions having scored in the past on good to soft. Hero's Story only has one win from 28 starts but has performed consistently well on all starts this term and Gabrial The Terror cannot be discounted off topweight for a yard which had five winners on Saturday. The main danger would appear to be Roc De Prince though as he's another with no stamina issues, has been performing with admirable consistency this term and is not ground-dependent.
