Verdict

Flash City won this in 2014 and is back on the same mark as when successful at Doncaster in July. The three-year-old Showdaisy won a handicap here last month but was earlier behind MININGGOLD at Beverley and that winner scored again at Ripon last month. Rachel Richardson's claim is a bonus for Tim Easterby's filly who gets the vote. Bond Bombshell generally only wins at Beverley so it was a very good performance to score at Redcar while Storm Trooper is in good form though 7lb higher than his last victory. One Boy ended a long losing spell with a hard-fought victory here last month and is just 2lb higher while Imperial Legend takes a slight drop in class and looks reasonably treated. However, the consistent Compton River is 11lb higher than his last victory.
