        Verdict

        Course and distance winner RACING ANGEL bids for hat-trick raised a further 4lb and looks to have every chance dropping down a grade. Prigsnov Dancer scored over 6f at Thirsk last week but has won over the minimum trip before and should go well. Laura B is harder to fancy over today's minimum distance but the veteran Incomparable is capable of popping-up at this level on occasions. Go Charlie suddenly found some form when placed at Catterick at 100/1 but has yet to win in 20 attempts.
