      Verdict

      Cherish continues to defy the handicapper and was winning for the seventh time this year when successful over track and trip earlier this month. Ooh Is It was found wanting behind The Daley Express here when bidding for a hat-trick and the latter has been beaten since but Roydmoor scored at Newcastle last month and is only 4lb higher. Both Araifjan and BUY ME BACK drop down in class but Mark Loughnane’s filly looks more favourably treated on earlier winning form and she gets the vote to get her head back in front.
