Verdict

Skyhill has won at Catterick and Sedgefield this year but was pulled up when last on this track. Ex S'elance likes it here, however, and finished ahead of Event Of Sivola and Eveque when second here last month. DOLLY DANCER tends to come good around this time of year and this is her favourite track. She’s tumbled down the weights so a third course victory may be on the cards, though March’s Ayr winner Without Conviction can’t be left out of calculations while recent points winner West Lawn is hardly thrown in at the deep end on his chasing bow.
