        Verdict

        Wild Edric has been in good form over 6f on the all-weather while Ginvincible was placed over today’s trip at Ripon last time when ahead of both True Hero and Exalted Angel. But FAIRY STORIES gets another chance after returning a losing favourite at Doncaster as she was beaten less than a length despite missing the break and is taken to reverse form with the runner-up Vee Man Ten. Three Card Trick has yet to win a handicap but has slipped down the weights this year and is another to consider.
