Verdict

An Saighdiur had the unlucky in-running Almadaa in fourth and previous winner COPPER DOCK in sixth when scoring over 6f here three weeks ago. The latter can take this as he had earlier beaten Andrew Slatter's charge over tonight's C&D and can beat him again while Ability N Deliver, who was a close-up third, looks well held at the weights after scoring at Lingfield. Queen Grace returns after a long break and has shot up the weights after her victory at Wolverhampton in October.
