    Verdict

    Blackcurrent popped-up over 6f here last time though beat Mumcat by only a neck. PHOENIX STAR won at the same fixture but scored over today’s trip and is taken to defy a 4lb rise having won off higher marks in the past. Nellie French beat the selection and Gowanbuster when scoring at the track at the start of the year while John Kirkup ran well at Beverley recently but has yet to win on the all-weather.
