        Verdict

        The Vegas Raider won over 1m2f at Salisbury earlier this season but is still 8lb higher tackling this longer trip for the first time. CARRIGILLIHY finished third upped to 1m3f at Carlisle a fortnight ago and Tim Easterby’s charge may prove the one to side with if settling better in the early stages. Chipping Away placed in novice company over today’s distance at Leicester and makes his handicap debut along with Tropical Cyclone.
