Verdict
CAILIN DEARG has been beaten three times since completing a double at Sedgefield on Boxing Day but she is still heading in the right direction and was only half-a-length behind Island Mahee, just beaten here on Wednesday, last time at Musselburgh. Be The Difference, is also proving consistent but is still possibly a few pounds too high. Immortal Fame has won three of his last four and The Jad Factor has trip and ground in his favour. Everyday Champagne won at Hexham last month but the form has yet to be franked. Wolfspear was third off this mark at Market Rasen with Brandy McQueen possibly the pick of the remainder.
