        Verdict

        It was soft ground when Adam's Ale won at Haydock last month with Casterbridge back in third and he’s been beaten since. Oriental Relation was well ahead of Money Team when scoring at Nottingham but was behind Musharrif at the same track last time. The latter is upped in class off a 3lb higher mark while Ziggy Lee also won a lower grade sprint at Beverley recently and has been raised the same amount. Lydia's Place could bounce back any time soon off her current mark and so could RUSTY ROCKET. The latter won a Class 3 contest off a higher mark at Redcar back in May so Paul Green’s charge gets a speculative vote to come out best today.
