Verdict
Tim Easterby runs three with Music Society, who won this in 2019, due to be raised 4lb for a recent second at Thirsk while Mattice has been running well over the minimum trip. But DANZAN was beaten less than a length off a 6lb higher mark in this last year and may prove the one to side with. Richard Fahey also has several representatives with the progressive Monsieur Kodi preferred to Summer Sands and novice winner Beattie Is Back while Grantley Hall won over 5f last time having earlier been beaten by Fast And Loose at Catterick. Admirality has a shout back on a winning mark though Intervention is penalised for an earlier double. Never Dark finished behind the selection in last season’s renewal and was due to run here yesterday.
