        Verdict

        Short Work was carrying a 6lb penalty at York after completing a double on this track three days earlier and ran well enough in what was a better class race. He looks certain to get into contention but See The Sun, who has been running consistently, has been operating at a lower level and hasn't won since May of last year. TRICKY DICKY scored on the Fibresand at Southwell in August but won't mind the conditions here and is on the same mark. Sam James gets on well with him and can steer him to another success. Lucky Beggar won here in June and though not in that kind of form subsequently is 4lb lower so it wouldn't be a shock to see a return to form.
