Verdict
Yarmouth maiden winner Different has plenty to find on today's terms but only 3lb separates the remainder on official ratings. Lord Ashley won his maiden at Thirsk in impressive fashion and is one of the least exposed. He should finish thereabouts but Ripon handicap winner RIGHT TOUCH is preferred. The latter ran out of steam in the closing stages over 7f at York last week and will appreciate the return to today's distance. Shore Step beat Prince Regal four lengths when runner-up at Warwick last time and Red Refraction wasn't beaten far when fourth at Chester on his latest start. Polytrack winner Bold Prediction also has claims on his placed form on Turf.
