      Verdict

      FARD only won a seller at Thirsk earlier in the week but beat higher rated opposition than this and could go well again despite a penalty. Peachey Carnehan can race off a much lower mark on the all-weather and is not badly treated while Groupie has finished closer recently having slid down the weights. Kellington Kitty won a maiden at Bath before well beaten back in handicap company but A Hundred Echoes never figured over 7f on his handicap bow and attempts today’s trip for the first time.
