Verdict
Rains Of Castamere finished ahead of Perfect Swiss when scoring at Pontefract earlier but failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time. Little Jo won nicely at Thirsk but is 6lb higher and another chance goes to WIDAAD (NAP). She came up short at Brighton last week having won at Newmarket before that but an apprentice’s allowance helps her cause today and George Boughey’s yard remains in tremendous form. Delph Crescent and the returning Angel's Whisper look best of the rest.
