    Verdict

    Blackcurrent had the measure of Joshua R and Tanasoq when scoring over track and trip a fortnight ago though the latter didn’t get the best of runs on the inside and may well turn the tables. Porfin finished ahead of AMASOVA (NAP) when runner-up at Chelmsford last month but Alice Haynes’ filly missed the break on that occasion and should go close with a better start having won under today’s rider at Wolverhampton earlier. Ubahha is upped in class while The Gloaming has yet to win on the all-weather.
