        Verdict

        MOUSEBIRD went close over track and trip before finding one too good at Thirsk. She gets another chance given she finished in front of Paris Protocol last time. The latter, recent hurdles winner Searching and Norab haven’t won on the Flat since 2015 though Bernard Llewellyn’s charge has gone close the last twice now while Bird For Life beat With Pleasure when scoring at Wolverhampton last month. Spring Run is proving best over 1m6f but Adams Park may figure on his second outing after wind surgery.
