Verdict

VISERION had proved hard to place prior to scoring at York earlier this month but that must have boosted his confidence as he followed up at Redcar and could complete the hat-trick here, despite a 6lb rise. Astra Hall won at Pontefract and Catterick prior to finishing third at Lingfield last month but may have been reeled in by the handicapper. Mysterial has been in good form at Beverley this year while Hard Toffee could not have won more easily on her Flat debut at Lingfield, though that was only a seller.
