Verdict

With the stalls on the stands’ side, a high draw may prove an advantage in this. Foreseeable Future has stall two so has it all to do while Leodis Dream hasn’t been as lucky as stablemates Harrogate and Good Luck Fox. The latter arrives on a hat-trick while cheekpieces appeared to perk up Thornaby Pearl at Doncaster. May Blossom has twice run well at Beverley recently but, in between, was unplaced behind CATCH CUNNINGHAM at York. Kevin Ryan’s three-year-old did well to win that day as Oisin McSweeney dropped his whip. The apprentice may need his persuader today as the top weight has been raised 3lb but he is probably well drawn.
