      Verdict

      Catherine Walton rode the winner of this last year and her mount, Doctor Beaujolais, isn't out of this as he didn't run badly at Musselburgh last time. Donald McCain is striking while the iron is red-hot with NEFYN BAY (NAP), who landed a conditionals' handicap at Wetherby last week and receives no penalty. He'll get a good ride from Bridget Andrews, who leads the Lady Riders' Championship, and can complete a hat-trick. Ruaraidh Hugh's apparent improvement last time came in a seller but Danceintothelight, from last year's winning stable, goes well on the track and looks a threat. Deny scored over the minimum trip here last month but then ran poorly when strongly fancied at Newcastle where the ground was very testing.
