        Verdict

        GINGER CHARLIE may prove good enough in a low grade lottery. He posted his best effort so far when third over today’s trip at Thirsk last time and is less exposed than most. Alice Thornton is another lightly raced sort who could go well and Reinforced won at Redcar earlier off a 4lb lower mark. Opt Out won three times at Musselburgh last year but on faster going while the likes of New Abbey Angel and Cascading Stars are usually thereabouts but are hard to win with.
