      Verdict

      Mr Orange failed in a bid for a hat-trick when a well beaten third here off today’s mark but LEXINGTON SKY fared better when placed at Haydock on her attempt to land a treble. She gets the vote given Mishaal has run poorly since finishing runner-up over track and trip and Be Bold never figured last time having won at Catterick earlier. Both Market Choice and Short Work have plenty to find with Mr Orange but Equiano Springs may do better back on faster ground today.
