Top of The Class should come out on top here at the expense of Phamedic, Got To Be Cash and Dash Of Magic. Trainer David Evans rarely wastes his trips up from Wales and in Top of The Class has an obvious candidate for success judged on her win at Haydock 12 days ago. She simply hacked up despite the fast ground, so although her two previous victories over tonight's course and distance have been with give underfoot, we have no reservations about her ability on Beverley's good to firm going. Phamedic is still a maiden but ran well at a big price last time, and although flattered by his proximity to the winner, can reach the frame. Got To Be Cash has also yet to visit the winner's enclosure but is well treated on form of old, while Dash Of Magic won a modest event at Southwell in January, but goes well in these type of events and is another to consider for a place. However, Top of The Class gets top marks to successfully give weight away to her seven opponents.
