        Verdict

        Ithoughtitwasover and Art Scholar have the past form to figure but both are struggling to find their best. Warlu Way won at Carlisle last time having been beaten only a nose by Nanton in an amateur event over track and trip earlier. That pair are upped in class for this and so is Bridle Belle, who would prefer some cut in the ground anyway. The latter's stablemate High Office is preferred and should make a bold bid but Kiwayu is another with more to do here after a win at Chester. BOLLIN GRETA bounced back at Doncaster a week ago and despite having to race from out of the handicap proper, Tim Easterby's mare still gets the vote as she's tumbled down the weights since landing this contest last year.
