Verdict

BERYL BURTON (NAP) has recorded two victories in Class 6 company but she ran well at this level at Windsor last time and is only a pound higher. Winning bumper Ri Na Farraige also landed a lower-grade handicap at Newcastle in March before finding Class 4 company too hot on a return visit. Snooze Lane has been racing exclusively at Wolverhampton where she's been in excellent form while Isle Of Wolves has been busy and consistent on Tapeta. Tahasun's two career victories have been on Polytrack.
