Verdict
Tom Dascombe runs three with the progressive KATIESHEIDINLISA preferred. A high draw may not be too much of a hindrance over today’s trip and she won with bit to spare at Doncaster last week having scored in soft going before that. Newcastle winner Seeusoon is also proven over the trip though has only raced on the all-weather so far while Sam Cooke, a winner over a mile at York in October encounters slow ground for the first time. Gabrial The One finished third of five over 1m2f at Beverley last month while the unexposed West End Charmer is preferred to stablemate Mister Chiang with Franny Norton doing the steering. Maiden winner Dubai Instinct is another with plenty of scope and Lariat ran well for second at Sandown on his reappearance.
