      Verdict

      Azor Ahai has been running poorly since a very good run in a 7f Beverley handicap on fast ground in April. Beryl The Petal gained her only victory to date over this trip last summer and has mainly been racing over further while Dream of Honour, though 0-10, would have an obvious chance on last season's form. NORTHERNPOWERHOUSE, a winner over this trip at Carlisle last summer, has run well enough in both handicap starts this campaign to suggest he's ready to get back on the winning trail, though Raspberry won very easily at Ayr in May and further progress would see her in the firing-line.
