      Verdict

      NOODLES BLUE BOY has been thereabouts in higher grade sprints of late and was just ahead of Flicka's Boy when runner-up at Musselburgh last time. Ollie Pears’ charge can go one better. Hit The Lights has struggled since scoring at Catterick last month but still finished ahead of Pabusar when fourth at Pontefract while Pearl Noir won off higher marks on Turf last year. Rainbow Orse is back on a winning mark with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account and made a winning return last season.
