Verdict

Mereside Angel carries 5lb extra for winning at Ayr while Blazing Hot finished runner-up at Pontefract though never looked like catching the winner. High Opinion placed at Wetherby back in April but COUNT D’ORSAY posted a better effort when fourth in a higher grade sprint over track and trip and may finally take advantage of a tumble down the weights.
