        Verdict

        Pontefract winner Connie's Rose should handle this slower going better than Level Up. The latter landed a double earlier in the month and had PENGUIN ISLAND back in third at Newbury on the first of those occasions. But Henry Candy’s filly re-opposes on better terms and will appreciate any further rain. Gannon Glory has switched yards after winning over 6f at Pontefract and both Some Nightmare and Four Adaay are preferred.
