    Verdict

    Bangor winner Simply Red was still well beaten when runner-up off today’s mark last time and GOLD WING makes more appeal. The latter has placed in both starts over hurdles so far with improvement expected stepping up in trip and handicapping for the first time. Sevenofus ran well here in between moderate efforts elsewhere while Rebel Roxy may prove best of the rest.
