    Verdict

    A high draw proved to be a disadvantage at Redcar earlier in the week and GORAK should do better in this having earlier finished ahead of Ascot Adventure when scoring at Doncaster. He’s due to be raised by 5lb more than today’s penalty. Dashing Dick won this off the same mark last year though on faster going while Tylos has yet to encounter heavy ground and still looks high enough in the weights. Amber Island and Soar Above have both done most of their winning on the all-weather.
