        Verdict

        Betty Grable returned to winning ways at Ripon last week though is now on a career high mark having been raised 5lb. Dreamseller finally opened his account on Turf when scoring at Thirsk last time though SMEATON was less than a length behind in third. But that was the latter’s first start since September and Roger Fell’s charge is taken to reverse running re-opposing on slightly better terms. Retirement Beckons went close on his last visit to this venue while Millie The Minx placed at Thirsk on her return to the Flat.
