      Verdict

      Nibras Again loves fast ground and has a course and distance victory to his credit though that was back in 2018. Fox Hill had dropped to the mark of her previous success when scoring at Redcar last week though a 5lb penalty makes this tougher. VENTURA EXPRESS had no difficulty gaining his second victory in recent weeks at Pontefract on Monday, coming home 4 lengths clear, so he can complete a quick double under a penalty. Mark's Choice has been confined to racing over 6f at Ripon, scoring there on his reappearance and running reasonably well from his raised mark subsequently. Secretinthepark gained the ninth victory of his career at Doncaster and has only been raised 2lb.
