Verdict
HOLERDAY RIDGE returned a cosy winner over track and trip last month and can defy a 5lb rise in this company. Abaya Du Mathan was a well beaten third over 2m at the same fixture here though had scored at the track off an 8lb lower mark in April. Aces Full faded away after the last at Huntingdon and drops down in trip for this but the remaining pair are hard to recommend.
