Verdict

The vote goes to LOOKS FANTASTIC, who left the impression that the drop back to this trip would be a good thing when fourth back from a break at Southwell recently and he's slipped to a very tempting mark. Woodrafff has been holding his form well and should give another good account, while Perfidia and Far Ahead are others with claims.

10	Solid record in classified events, winning one at Newcastle in March and runner-up in similar events next 2 starts. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap back on turf at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) recently and likely to give another good account. 2nd Pick 10 Woodrafff Jockey: James Sullivan Trainer: Ruth Carr J: James Sullivan T: Ruth Carr	95	-	-	-	17%

5	Largely consistent on the back of breakthrough success at Ripon (1m, good to firm) last summer, putting in a good shift when third in a 13-runner Thirsk handicap on recent reappearance. Drop back to this trip looks a good move and he's a player off the same mark. 3rd Pick 5 Perfidia (Ire) Jockey: David Allan Trainer: Tim Easterby J: David Allan T: Tim Easterby	100	-	-	-	25%
