      Verdict

      Having placed twice at Thirsk, Siglo Six landed the odds over 7f at Doncaster when beating a horse rated 83. On that evidence, he’s fairly treated here and should make a bold bid to complete the double. Humble Gratitude beat an in-form rival at Chester and Cieren Fallon’s claim takes care of the penalty but ENIGMATIC led until inside the final furlong at Pontefract and has yet to run a bad race on Turf this year. He holds Balgair on the form book and is also preferred to Mr Top Hat, who remains high enough in the weights.
