Verdict

The in-form WOODSTOCK was third in a better race than this at Thirsk last time despite having an interrupted run, so he gets the nod over Fiscal Policy and Arduis Invicta, who both escape a penalty for their recent wins.

5	Arrives in decent heart, building on some in-frame efforts to snap a 2-year losing run in a big field at Ripon. Good third at Thirsk next time despite having an interrupted run so he remains of strong interest. 1st Pick 5 Woodstock Jockey: Oisin James Orr Trainer: Ruth Carr J: Oisin James Orr T: Ruth Carr	98	-	-	-	13%	7/1

16	Enhanced his very good record at Pontefract with a narrow win over C&D last week and obvious claims off the same mark. 2nd Pick 16 Fiscal Policy (Ire) Jockey: Joanna Mason Trainer: Ruth Carr J: Joanna Mason T: Ruth Carr	100	-	-	-	16%	11/2
Analysis Enhanced his very good record at Pontefract with a narrow win over C&D last week and obvious claims off the same mark.
13	Not the easiest to predict but handicapper has been quick to relent and she took advantage with a narrow success at Doncaster 11 days ago. Able to race off the same mark so big chance if able to back that up. 3rd Pick 13 Arduis Invicta (Ire) Jockey: William Pyle Trainer: Craig Lidster J: William Pyle T: Craig Lidster	99	-	-	-	14%	13/2
