Verdict

After 17 races without a victory, Ugo Gregory has now landed two of his last three. He should go well again but has been awarded a 6lb rise for his latest Haydock success. DUNGAR GLORY has been left on an unchanged mark of 77 and could well step forward again under ideal conditions of a mile on good ground. She has also gone well here in the past. Indiana Be failed to justify favouritism at York last time but has thrown in the odd disappointing run before and it would be dangerous to write him off here. Spirit Catcher, dropped in grade, also warrants a mention.
