DAPPER MAN included this race among last year’s five successes and arrives in fine form once again. Roger Fell’s charge bids for a hat-trick having romped home at Hamilton a week ago and a penalty may not be enough to anchor him in this. Economic Crisis had her favoured soft ground when scoring at Catterick recently and Boudica Bay is preferred on today’s surface with Ella McCain’s 3lb allowance helping her cause. Red Stripes makes a quick reappearance after placing at Hamilton earlier in the week but has yet to win on Turf and Musharrif is preferred on an earlier success at Ripon.
