Verdict

WHITECLIFFE PARK was beaten a couple of lengths over 1m2f at Wetherby last time and gets a token vote having placed when last competing over track and trip. Uphold was third in an amateurs’ race here last time and Cool Music has made the frame in similar contests in the past. Dove Mountain has something to prove over the longer trip while Powered was due to run at Leicester yesterday.
