Verdict

Wolverhampton winner Sacred Sprite and, at the other end of the handicap, Cue's Folly are interesting in this. Geordielad and General Allenby hail from yards more associated with jumpers but are others in with a shout. Misscarlett was third at Newcastle and now wears cheekpieces but this can go to DEW POND, who is on a long losing run but has dropped to a lowly mark as a consequence and travelled strongly over 1m6f at Musselburgh last time until found out by a lack of pace.
