    Verdict

    ASTRA HALL (NAP) has a further 8lb hike in the weights to contend with as she bids for a hat-trick. But she scored by five lengths at Catterick last time and the handicapper may not have caught up with her yet. Quality Song was placed yet again when runner-up on the Polytrack course here in March but a 4lb rise doesn’t help his cause while Forced Family Fun still looks high enough in the weights. Donna Graciosa drops back down a grade and Saumur can figure off her current mark.
