Verdict
SIOUXPERHERO only won a four-runner affair at Yarmouth on Tuesday but looks to have little to fear from these despite carrying a penalty - the hat-trick beckons for Bill Muir's charge. Piddie's Power has slipped down the weights but never threatened when third at Doncaster off today's mark while Celtic Sixpence has looked in the handicapper's grip since winning here in April. Skyfire won at Ripon in August last year but has turned in three woeful efforts subsequently.
