Verdict

Katie Gale reverts to novice company having only managed third on her handicap debut at Worcester. Rated much higher than MASTER DANCER on the Flat, she'll give the Newton Abbot winner plenty to think about receiving 7lb but Tim Vaughan's grey looks to be on a steep upward curve and is fancied score again. State The Obvious finished tailed off on his racecourse debut at Uttoxeter but wasn't given a hard time and much better is expected here. Sulamani The Late and Hang 'em High are best watched until showing signs of life.
