    Verdict

    EPONA ran green on her debut at Hamilton 11 days ago and will have learned plenty from that and is fancied to take advantage of the 12lb she receives from previous winners Magical Wish and Roderick. The latter struggled under a penalty after winning at Musselburgh but Richard Hannon’s colt has been showing plenty of speed over 6f so should handle the slight drop in distance. Hard Solution looks held on the form book and may do better in handicaps.
