Verdict

MISS NAY NEVER has been raised a further 5lb having landed a course and distance double with her latest success. But she scored with plenty in hand and the hat-trick beckons John Quinn’s mare. Stuart Williams has sent out both previous winners of this but Double Dealing will need to step up on his recent efforts to figure while Harb won a lower grade sprint at Lingfield earlier and makes more appeal than the returning Impeach.
