Verdict
Water Of Leith represents last year’s winning yard and finished closer at Wolverhampton last time. Patsy Fagan completed a double on the all-weather before beaten back on Turf at Doncaster while Basharat was beaten in handicaps before landing a novices race at Catterick. Elladora and Kats Bob finished runner-up on their latest starts but IRIS DANCER was second in a higher grade sprint over track and trip so gets the vote to bring an end to a frustrating run of placed efforts.
