        Verdict

        RORY (NAP) beat a useful sort at Hamilton last time out and looks worth sticking with in his current form. Impressor also arrives into the race a winner having made ground from off the pace to win over 6f here while Lady Celia wasn’t knocked about on reappearance and Richard Fahey’s mare will be sharper today. Gowanbuster was the subject of some support at Newcastle but reportedly boiled over in the preliminaries ahead of the race.
