In depth
Verdict
The Good Ting had been highly tried before winning on her handicap debut at Lingfield and she is only 3lb higher here. Enderman hasn’t been disgraced over 5f at Beverley and Pontefract and is certain to enjoy this first try over 6f but IRIS DANCER clearly found 5f too short at Catterick after a debut sixth at York and can concede weight all round. Costa Teguise wasn’t given a hard time here two weeks ago and may be best of the rest.
