        Verdict

        Surprisingly Coiste Bodhar is the only course and distance winner in the line-up, having won here in April, and he bounced back at Thirsk a couple of weeks ago. Hit The Lights has won over 6f here but is probably better over this trip and had Oriental Splendour well behind when scoring at Catterick in April. Ruby's Day hasn't won since July and is still higher in the weights but the three-year-old Sandra's Secret ran a fine race on her reappearance at Redcar and won't need much more to take a hand. AMBITIOUS ICARUS landed a Class 4 handicap at Newcastle in August and has generally competed at a higher level subsequently. He's been running well enough without quite getting there and is taken to get back on track.
