    Verdict

    WAITINONASUNNYDAY has improved for the step up to 2m6f and completed a recent double at Leicester. Michael Blake’s charge is raised a further 6lb but will handle today’s fast going better than today’s opposition including Goring One. The latter scored in soft ground at Lingfield in January and it was testing underfoot when he placed over these fences last month. John Daniell would also prefer some cut as would Burgess Dream, who won over track and trip on Boxing Day.
