        Verdict

        Gracious John beat Green Door a length when winning at Leicester recently and also beat last month’s Doncaster winner Perfect Pasture to land this contest last year. The latter finished in front of Hoof It on Town Moor and Tomily was ahead of Atletico when also scoring at Doncaster on his latest start. Classic Pursuit is upped in class after winning over track and trip while though Spiritual Lady has won a Listed race before that was over 6f on faster ground. CLEM FANDANGO went close in Listed company at Musselburgh last time and was beaten less than a length in soft ground in France before that. Keith Dagleish’s filly may be the one to side with in a competitive sprint.
