      Verdict

      Recent course winner High Noon still has stamina to prove and was well behind WARENDORF at Wetherby last month. The top weight found 2m too short subsequently at Carlisle and was first past the post in a point-to-point in 2018 only to lose the race when a prohibitive substance was found in a sample he provided. Tony Martin has three runners on today’s card and it will be a surprise if he doesn’t leave with at least one winner but Mr Jacaranda has much to prove. Lady London is best around here but hard to catch right.
