Verdict

A tight-knit handicap could go the way of C&D winner IRIS DANCER who is dangerously well handicapped at present. Ran Amok is expected to run well down in grade if fully tuned up on return and can get the better of the in-form Raft Up for second.

13	C&D winner. Has produced 2 creditable efforts this season when in frame at Pontefract and Ayr. Has the blinkers refitted and this well-treated type has to be of interest. 1st Pick 13 Iris Dancer Jockey: Rowan Scott Trainer: Tristan Davidson J: Rowan Scott T: Tristan Davidson	100	-	-	-	17%

3	Won handicap at Doncaster (6f) last summer, though proved rather miss than hit otherwise in 2025. Yard going well and cannot be discounted down in grade despite a near 7-month absence. 2nd Pick 3 Ran Amok (Ire) Jockey: Jack Nicholls Trainer: Hugo Palmer J: Jack Nicholls T: Hugo Palmer	96	-	-	-	17%

7	Won at Southwell (6f) in April and followed up in 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 17 days ago, holding on gamely.
