Verdict

No shortage of chances but it's hard not to be impressed with how SAXON GRACE has advanced her form of late so a quick-fire hat-trick beckons if seeing out this trip. Tim Easterby holds a strong hand and his Little Ted and Sunny Orange are others to consider. Riddikulus and the returning Casilli at forecast longer odds also make appeal.

9	Three-time C&D winner who was just touched off in this race 12 months ago. Suggested he's coming to the boil with good runner up efforts on 2 of his last 3 starts and he lines up here on a workable mark.

1	Regained winning thread at Beverley (8.5f) in April and he lines up here in good order, runner up at Pontefract prior to not being seen to best effect when fifth back at Beverley (1¼m) 3 days ago. Blinkers go on in place of usual cheekpieces and claims from a handy draw. 3rd Pick 1 Sunny Orange (Ire) Jockey: Duran Fentiman Trainer: Tim Easterby J: Duran Fentiman T: Tim Easterby	93	-	-	-	9%	11/1
