Verdict
Tom Dascombe sent out last year’s winner and FLAMING RIB has every chance. The latter is on a hat-trick having won in this grade at York last month and another bold bid looks on the cards despite a 6lb rise. Straits Of Moyle also completed a double when successful at Ayr last week but is 9lb higher today and novice winner Harb makes more appeal handicapping for the first time. Dora Penny came up short at Doncaster when bidding for a treble and is upped in class along with Mercurial, who placed over 7f here last time.
