Verdict
Irish raider NORTHERN SKY didn't appreciate fast ground at Ayr last time though that was in a lady amateurs' event and his previous form puts him right in the picture so he's handed the vote. Ingleby Hollow landed a Class 6 at Wetherby in May but, though performing well in his last two starts, is now 9lb higher. After landing a Catterick claimer, Be Perfect just failed to concede 11lb to Zihaam at Beverley last week though the winner ran poorly at York on Saturday. Artful Rogue is well handicapped at present and wasn't beaten far at Ayr but River Glades hasn't proved himself in the conditions and Medicine Hat needs further.
