Verdict
Court At Slip came here for the first time last Month and gained a surprise but comfortable victory for which he's been raised 8lb. Warriors Story was right there until the last and should appreciate the quicker going. Get With It also showed improved form here when runner-up to The Jad Factor and normal progress should see him in the firing-line though JOHNSON'S BLUE was having only his fifth start when scoring with something in hand at Hexham and a 7lb rise looks manageable. Pateen hasn't been running well but has dropped to his last winning mark.
