      Verdict

      Fujaira Bridge beat Lord Clenaghcastle over track and trip in August but today’s going is a concern and the runner-up has disappointed since. ISABELLA (NAP) was a shade unlucky not to complete her hat-trick at Hamilton after winning at Thirsk and Pontefract. The winner was completing a four-timer of her own that day so that was no disgrace and David O’Meara’s filly can get back on track here, despite a further 5lb rise. Heatongrad has also gone up 5lb since a surprise win at Musselburgh but showed he handled soft going that day so can’t be discounted.
