Verdict

Bearing in mind that Ferdy Murphy's stable is only just beginning to emerge from the doldrums, DOMOLY's effort in beating Banoge in a conditionals' event over C&D 12 days ago was highly commendable and, only 5lb higher today, he should take all the beating with Graham Lee taking over the reins. Tanzanite Bay was sent off favourite at Kelso earlier this month but could only muster the one pace and will need to jump better to get off the mark over fences. King Penda was pulled up at Market Rasen after winning an ordinary contest at Sedgefield while this may be an insufficient test of stamina for Elliott Cooper's Wor Rom and Why Are You Asking races from a long way out of the weights.
