        Verdict

        JUNIOR RIP put a couple of poor efforts on Turf behind him when scoring over course and distance last time. The runner-up has boosted the form by winning and it could pay to stick with Roger Charlton’s charge. Spirit Of Angel won over track and trip back in May but is returning from a lay-off but Better Than Ever was placed over a similar distance at Chester last time and drops down a grade for this. Corinthian Girl and Canasta have placed over a mile recently and Social Network also steps up in trip for her handicap debut
