        Verdict

        General Hazard is upped in distance as he bids for a hat-trick and raised 8lb for last week’s success over 1m2f here. COURTSIDER (NAP) showed a big improvement over track and trip last month when scoring with plenty in hand and Lucy Wadham’s charge can defy a 5lb rise and go in again. Alsacienne has been thereabouts over 2m recently and drops back to her winning distance for this while Celtic Ava is back on a winning mark and went close over 1m2f last time. Clovelly Bay drops down a grade and may finish closer as a consequence.
