Verdict

Lady Bacchus won over track and trip on her penultimate start when beating NOVABRIDGE. The latter re-opposes on better terms today and can reverse running. Prigsnov Dancer can race off a lower mark on the all-weather and went close here on his latest start when ahead of Tribesman while Captain Scooby has won four times this year but his latest success came in Class 7 company. Zebelini was runner-up at Kempton off today’s mark in September but all three of Pancake Day’s wins on the all-weather have been at Southwell.
