        Verdict

        Thirsk winner Grey Belle is penalised returning to novice company while Homeric drops down in distance after placing at Wolverhampton on his debut. Sharp Distinction and Volos step up in trip with a shout but a speculative vote goes to STORYTIME, a half-sister to five winners representing Charlie Hills’ in-form yard. The Coolmore-owned Secret Service, Julia Augusta and City Spirit are other newcomers to note in something of a lottery.
