        Verdict

        Fear Nothing has done all his winning in faster ground while Almond Branches remains 6lb higher than his win at Catterick back in July. I'LL BE GOOD looks to have leading claims as he scored in soft going at Redcar last time and despite a 3lb rise, Robert Johnson's charge has still won off higher mark's in the past. Sandwith should go well again on the back of a close-up second at Hamilton but last month's Beverley winner, Ingleby Star, wouldn't want any more rain.
