        Verdict

        A lack of numbers makes life no easier and INGLEBY STAR can turn the tables on Twosheetstothewind. Noel Wilson's charge has an obvious opportunity to account for his nemesis last week, at today's terms and from a decent draw and with a bit more give in the ground, we are confident of the reverse. Twosheetstothewind has been a credit to Michael Dods and her form has been typical of the fortunes experienced this year by the Darlington handler. Angelo Poliziano does seem to run in snatches. He may be better if given his head upfront. Thunder Bay dropped away tamely having cut out the early work at Beverley last time out. The Bear needs to build upon some plating form. The remainder look hard to make cases for on recent evidence. Ingleby Star can gain compensation today.
