      Verdict

      TERESA GRACE made all to beat Cheyenne Nation a length at Thirsk with Holly Blackmore a further two lengths away in fourth. That was her seasonal reappearance so she may be capable of better. Glory Call may be the danger given he is 4lb better off than when beaten a length by Cavalier Approach at Newcastle as Crime Fiction’s win at Redcar last year came over 6f.
