Verdict

Debit has a big weight for a horse who has never won though a drop of 3lb since his last run just enables him to get into this handicap. Orbit The Moon has had 23 starts since his last victory over this track and trip in 2012 and though White Flag landed a handicap over the trip at Thirsk a 5lb rise looks enough to prevent a follow-up as she's never won at this level. Maureb scored over 7f at Redcar and showed plenty of pace when tried over a mile there next time though this is a big drop in trip. Be Lucky gained her only success on fast ground and can get involved but it's about time ADIATOR was winning again. She reappeared after a long break at Beverley last month and, though not getting the run of the race, was only narrowly beaten by Thatcherite.
