      Verdict

      Betty Baloo is unbeaten in two starts here, the latest in a mares' race over the trip for which she's only been raised 2lb. She gets the nod though the concession of 11lb to FISTON DU MOU won't be easy. From a stable in top form, the latter only had one to beat here a couple of weeks ago but did it with a bit in hand and Gavin Sheehan is on board again. Lounge Lizard has never won and disappointed when favourite at Warwick last time but Mance Rayder produces a big run every now and then as he did on his penultimate start at Newcastle. Skiddaw Tara has been in poor form over timber and showed nothing in two starts over fences in 2020.
