Verdict

Marnie James has looked high enough in the weights since landing a double back in July and has been beaten subsequently beaten by Lord Riddiford at Goodwood. But the latter ran poorly at York last month when EEH BAH GUM (NAP) beat Fool For You easily enough and Tim Easterby’s progressive sprinter can go in again. Fool For You went on to score at Wolverhampton with Gold Filigree back in third while both Mountain Peak and Billy Dylan are upped in class off higher marks having won their respective latest starts.
