Verdict

MR ORANGE won this last year and returned to winning ways when successful at Carlisle recently. Still improving, he can go close again raised only 3lb. Mishaal was runner-up in a higher grade here last time and Alfie's Angel won over course and distance last month but was well beaten over 7f on his latest start. Yeeoow has a shout back on a faster surface but Kody Ridge remains penalised for an earlier win and Ypres carries 6lb extra for winning a Class 6 sprint at Carlisle last week.
