      In depth

      Verdict

      This looks tricky as though Becky The Thatcher finished ahead of RAINBOW LAD and Top Of The Rocks at Catterick she may need a bit further and, on slightly better terms, Mike Appleby's charge could have his revenge today. He had High On Light well behind when scoring at Beverley earlier this summer. Lady Canford finished last tried over this trip at Ripon but her yard is in good form and she's never raced in this lowly grade before.
