In depth

Verdict

Worth A King's was second over C&D last time and has been fairly consistent lately. Dianne Sayer's charge should be in the firing-line again while Artic Night, a winner at Carlisle in December, has his sights lowered. This won't take much winning, however, so we're going to take a chance on the returning DIPITY DOO DAH. She has her first start since March last year but has ability and seven of her 10 career starts have come at this track. The handicapper has shown her a bit of mercy after her break. Kirkhammerton and Charming Knight have a chance at the weights but both are pretty much exposed nowadays.
