Verdict

Apricot Sky won this off a higher mark last year and has joined David Nicholls since. He should go well again having won at Hamilton last month while last year's fourth Newton's Law is 5lb higher this time round on account of scoring at Newmarket in June. Noble Asset went close in this grade at Musselburgh last time and can race off the same mark but the veteran JUDGE 'N JURY is still capable at this level and he gets the nod having slipped further down the weights this season. Bashiba and Thorntoun Lady are others to consider in this grade.
