      Verdict

      The recent winners On The River and G'daay are both upped in class with the former preferred on today’s going. Master Zoffany also has something to prove in this grade but FFION is capable at this level. The latter went close at Haydock on her penultimate start and won over 7f here last autumn. Koy Koy is back on a winning mark but Safe Voyage and Great Max still look high enough in the weights and Liamarty Dreams was due to race at Thirsk yesterday.
