Verdict

THEREISNODOUBT could be another winner for the Lucinda Russell stable here. He looked to be coming to hand when third in a higher grade last time at Musselburgh and has dropped a pound since. Wor Verge has won twice at Carlisle this season and was successful here last term while Stainsby Girl is 2-2 over course and distance, though 11lb higher than when landing this contest 12 months ago. A good run from Atlantic Dancer in the opener would boost the claims of Ayr winner Beat Box and Brian Hughes is back on board.
