Verdict

A competitive handicap for the money headed at the weights by Euro Implosion, who has won three times here this summer and also scored at Musselburgh. He was out of his depth in Class 3 company last time and this is his grade. Real Terms has yet to win but her stable is in tremendous form as is that of Golden Dove, though the latter has yet to prove she stays this far. The remaining trio are last-time winners with Molinari having scored in good style at Carlisle. He didn't enjoy soft conditions when well behind Innse Gall at Ayr earlier and it should be much closer here. RICHES AND RUBIES is gradually getting her act together and has only been raised 3lb for her victory over 1m4f at Beverley. Paul Hanagan again takes the ride and Richard Fahey's filly can go in again.
