        Verdict

        NOODLES BLUE BOY went within ahead of catching Irish Girls Spirit at Hamilton last week and can go one better in this confirming running with Calypso Music is the process. It's Time For Bed finished just ahead of Tadalavil when behind Gaelic Wizard at Hamilton though neither threatened and it was soft ground when Eland Ally won at Catterick last month but he is unlikely to get similar conditions today. Findog won over 7f here back in May but that was his first win since 2012 and only his second in total.
