Verdict

This won't take much winning and though Earls Fort has shown some ability he is returning from a fairly lengthy absence. ROSE REVIVED has been gradually improving and the handicapper has given her a chance in a race like this – Patrick Cowley's claim should also aid her cause. Stepover is starting to come down the weights but Vinegar Hill was pulled up when Lilywhite Gesture finished third at Uttoxeter after winning here over 3m earlier.
