    Verdict

    Miracle Garden won a classified race here last time with Jungle Boogaloo and Isabella Ruby behind but is 8lb higher back in a handicap. Manumission has been thereabouts over the minimum trip lately while Blue Cable won over course and distance last month and has gone close again subsequently. But GRIGGY was winning off higher marks last year and having shown recent signs of a resurgence, Sean Curran’s charge may prove the one to side with.
