Verdict

Staying is the name of the game here and Four Miracles can land it. Campaigned over much shorter trips during her three year old campaign, Mark Tompkins filly has certainly improved for the step up to staying trips. The form of her second last time was franked on Wednesday evening when the winner Rajah followed up in fine style off a 6lb higher mark. The 2m 2f trip here will work in her favour as all she does is stay. Chocolate Caramel created a slight upset when landing a Beverley two miler last time. He faces a very stiff task on the weights with Four Miracles based on their clash at Doncaster, however hold-up tactics seemed to revitalize Chocolate Caramel last time. Numero Due is a regular in these contests and holds no secrets with regard to his handicap mark. Victory Quest has place credentials but no more and Four Miracles is the selection.
