Verdict

Bit Of A Quirke is a standing dish here having won six times on the track though he generally needs his first run back. Strangerontheshore is just 3lb higher than when scoring here in August and a recent return at Newcastle should have her ready for this while Contrast almost added to his six career victories at Redcar last week. DANDY'S ANGEL has only won twice in a 40-race career but her last success was on this track in August and she made such a promising reappearance last week that she's handed the vote. The locally-trained Bearwith would be worth a look if the ground dries out as expected.
