      Verdict

      Alicia Darcy recorded a fourth win of the campaign at Brighton last week but had only a neck to spare so may struggle under her penalty. Following a morale-boosting victory in a claimer at Wolverhampton, Swiss Pride has run well in a couple of handicaps but has been raised another 2lb. Northern raider GOLDEN PARADE failed to complete his hat-trick when favourite at Redcar but it would be no surprise if Tim Easterby got another victory out of his improving sprinter before the season was out and he’s preferred to in-form filly Sonja Henie, Orange Blossom and Yarmouth scorer Great Shout.
