Verdict

Athollblair Boy and Insurplus scored over track and trip last time and both are upped in class off higher marks. Castle Hill Cassie is another facing a tougher task having won her penultimate start here but Count Montecristo has proved best over a mile so far. Dark Alliance arrives in fine form having won three of his last four outings but DEANSGATE had a couple of subsequent winners behind when scoring in this grade over course and distance in January and Julie Camacho’s charge gets the vote in this.
