Verdict

GORGEOUS GENERAL has the best recent piece of form when missing out by only a nose over track and trip a fortnight ago and is taken to go one better. Worden Park makes her handicap debut having placed in soft going at Redcar and can figure if taking to the Fibresand while Moveonup has won over the minimum trip here and has slipped back down the weights. Onebaba has only won a maiden so far while both Hawk In The Sky and Time To Reason returned losing favourites over 5f last time.
