Verdict

Dinky Inty won a three-year-old handicap here on Monday but is up 7lb against older horses. Pure Action was beaten in a maiden here on Tuesday, the same day as Avalanche finished fourth in a handicap over the trip with BEAU SATCHEL (NAP) sixth and Grainne's Dream further behind. The selection won this in 2014 and has also scored at the fixture for the past two years but failed to get anything like a clear run earlier in the week and can maintain his remarkable record at the meeting. Denis Hogan won this last year with the admirable Tithonus and Atlas, who also ran well here on Tuesday, gives him a strong hand again along with the first reserve My Painter. The lightly-raced Rosin Box has plenty of scope and looks the type to run well here.
