Verdict
A tricky little handicap but William Haggas does extremely well when raiding north and SWEET BELIEVER has returned in good nick after a decent break. She's only been raised 1lb for a battling Nottingham success and Adam Farragher claims 5lb off her back today. The apprentice was also in the plate when the daughter of Make Believe was narrowly beaten at Newmarket on her seasonal bow. Broomy Law retains maiden status but has only had the four runs and both starts this term show him to be useful at this level so he should go well again. A Boy Named Ivy looks best of the Dods pair back in trip while Soller Bay is consistent enough and not ruled out.
