Verdict
Fast Shot was beaten only a short-head in last year's renewal but is 9lb higher today. Richard Fahey has enjoyed plenty of success in this and runs three with recent Newcastle winner Tatislu making most appeal given Khelman steps up in class. MASS RALLY moves in the opposite direction having run well for fourth behind Maarek in a Group 2 sprint at York. He's taken to carry top weight to victory back in a handicap. Spinatrix would figure if back to his best after a poor effort at Haydock and Barkston Ash ran well despite the unfavourable terms in a conditions race last time. Out Do and Yeeoow look pretty exposed at this level while Blaine's form has gone to pieces. But the latter's stablemate Hopes N Dreams saves her best for this track and may get involved.
