Verdict

Critical Time will have her supporters now handicapping for the first time though she never looked like catching the winner when runner-up over a mile at Thirsk last month. Regal Banner is fitted with blinkers after placing at Chepstow while Firsteen remains 6lb higher than when scoring at Redcar back in July. ORIENTAL LILLY (NAP) had a tough task in the Bronze Cup at Ayr last week but had won an apprentices’ race over today’s trip at Redcar before that. Racing off the same mark here, Jim Goldie’s mare gets another chance.
