Verdict
Economic Crisis and NASHARRA won their respective divisions of a handicap over track and trip last week. The former beat Greenhead High and should confirm superiority despite a penalty but the latter has won off higher marks in the past so Kevin Ryan's charge gets the vote. Masked Dance has a bit to find in this judged on an earlier defeat by Greenhead High and Fairy Wing looks in the handicapper's grip now after landing a double at Southwell earlier this year.
