    Verdict

    Riley Boys and Catherine Howard may provide a one-two for the three-year-olds, with Low Cloud and Helderberg best of the older opposition. Riley Boys has been ultra-consistent this term, having finished first or second on each of his six starts this year. Three of those efforts have been here, and he seems to handle all types of ground, so James Given's charge has a lot going for him on official ratings. Catherine Howard is only three pounds inferior to the selection but gets twice that here so should make her presence felt, while Low Cloud makes a quick reappearance after finishing fifth at Carlisle on Monday. He will have a job on giving weight away all round though and of slightly more appeal is Helderburg who showed a bit of improvement at Redcar recently and may appreciate the drop in trip. All in all though, Riley Boys has the form to add to his tally.
