Verdict
Isstoora and Whitkirk carry 6lb extra for recent wins at Nottingham and Thirsk respectively though both won easily enough and can figure again. But VIVE LA DIFFERENCE (NAP) can race off the same mark as when beaten only a neck at Thirsk last time and Tim Easterby’s charge may prove the one to side with in this. Akkadian Empire has been winning on the all-weather this year but remains winless on Turf in 12 attempts but Jacob Black finished in front of stable companion Cliff Bay when second here recently and is preferred of Keith Dalgleish’s three runners.
