      Verdict

      NEXT STOP struggled over 1m4f last time but had earlier gone close over 1m2f at Pontefract and won over the same trip at Beverley back in April. She is preferred to the unreliable Hail Bold Chief though Diddy Eric could go well again after last week's second here to Triple Eight. Liberty Sky was well beaten at Ripon on her previous attempt at today's distance and it remains to be seen if Lightning Spree improves stepping up from 7f.
