    Verdict

    Just one favourite has obliged in ten renewals and there have been some shock winners. Three-year-olds have a very good record and INGLEBY HOLLOW will be fancied to add to last month's course and distance victory from just 3lb higher and should be good enough. The consistent Sprit Of The Sea was unlucky in-running at Catterick or may have lost her maiden tag and Vanishing is another from the younger generation with chances. Mysterial, who has won three of his last four, takes a step-up in class from a 6lb higher mark and may not be up to the task. Qibtree landed a ladies' handicap over 1m2f here last month and Silvestre De Sousa is an intriguing booking.
