      Verdict

      Some interesting northern juveniles clash with recent Beverley scorer WALK IN MARRAKESH selected to follow up a comfortable all-the-way success on the Westwood. Front-running tactics are expected to be the order of the day once again as she has no stamina issues over this trip and the Johnston filly looks the one to beat. Alix James ran an excellent first when second at Carlisle, coming home strongly, should appreciate this extra furlong and looks dangerous. Woke probably needs to improve on her heavy ground debut and The Wine Cellar is an interesting newcomer. Road Rage looks more of a nursery type.
