      Verdict

      Court Applause was registering his first victory when scoring at Wolverhampton last month and will need to improve again off a higher mark. Irish raider Ability N Delivery is 8lb higher than when winning over C&D on his penultimate start and has been beaten at Dundalk since, but recent Wolverhampton winner Rylee Mooch is back in more suitable company after finishing fourth in a tougher contest last time. ESTONIA also drops in class and, though her late finishing style requires some luck in-running, she's good enough to take this if things fall her way.
