Verdict

A tricky contest in which a strong early pace appears guaranteed with the likes of the consistent Beryl The Petal, Evie Speed and the Shadwell cast-off Ghathanfar in the line-up. Stronsay merits consideration on the strength of his previous C&D exploits, but worryingly could be caught out by the forecast quicker ground, while the recent C&D maiden winner Bumbledom appears flattered by that form. Therefore, this race could be set up perfectly for a fast-finishing SOCRU who could provide the evergreen popular Yorkshire trainer Mick Easterby with yet another winner.
  1. Socru
  2. Beryl The Petal
  3. Ghathanfar
