        Verdict

        Highwaygrey scored over track and trip in May and was placed at York a fortnight ago when ahead of Potenza. Northern Lyte has been thereabouts since scoring at Beverley last month and finished in front of Fragrant Belle when runner-up at Leicester last time. Power Player can figure if staying the longer trip after placing over a mile here but FIREWATER (NAP) was beaten only a length in a more competitive race at Pontefract recently and Richard Fahey’s charge gets the vote to go one better in this lower grade racing off the same mark.
