In depth
Verdict
Redarna landed a double at Carlisle when scoring earlier in the week with Strong Steps behind. He’d also beaten Jacob Black earlier though is upped a grade under a penalty today. Lucky Violet went close over track and trip last time but she’s another facing a tougher task in this company and it could pay to stick with TOMMY G. The latter scored in this grade over course and distance last month and a 3lb rise may not be enough to anchor Jim Goldie’s charge in this.
