      Verdict

      Reverential was only beaten a neck by the odds-on Super Proud at Yarmouth nine days ago but the latter’s trainer should know where he stands with Into The Fire, who makes his handicap debut after placing twice at Windsor. KENTUCKY KITTEN was all out to hold off the more-experienced Mr Coco Bean at Redcar but has only gone up a pound and Ella McCain is a good booking for a race like this. Orchestral probably requires improvement and some help from the assessor.
