        Verdict

        William Easterby has ridden the winner of this on a couple of occasions in the past and looks to have every chance once again partnering FIRST DANCE. The latter won one of these events over 1m2f at Pontefract off a similar mark back in August. Berlusca escapes a penalty having won an apprentices' race over track and trip a week ago and should make another bold bid while Agent Gibbs was placed over a longer trip under today's amateur at Kempton recently when finishing ahead of French Mix. Light Of Air wasn't beaten far at Lingfield last time while Sunshineandbubbles remains out of form but is partnered by leading amateur Serena Brotherton today.
