      Verdict

      The application of a hood has brought improvement from ARRANMORE. David O’Meara’s charge won at Carlisle last week having slid down the weights and can defy a penalty in this. Caballero ran a shocker last time having gone close over track and trip before that while Thrave placed over 7f at Doncaster recently and recorded his only win so far over today’s longer trip. Oriental Lilly has something to prove over this far while Flying Moon would prefer some cut in the ground.
