Verdict
Lulu Stanford has been on board Maori Bob for a couple of recent wins at Beverley but her mount has another 7lb rise to contend with. He’s also upped in class along with another hat-trick seeker, Medalla De Oro, who has been in good form at Windsor. Near Kettering was much better last time at Newmarket though wouldn’t want any rain but Phoenix Dawn went close reverting to the Flat at Salisbury. SEAN O’CASEY looked one to follow when dotting up at Yarmouth on his first start for Mike Appleby at Yarmouth in May but didn’t really progress after that. However, Silvestre De Sousa is back in the saddle for the first time since and he’s slipped back to a mark off which he should be capable of winning again. Neither The New Pharaoh nor Harebell can be left out of calculations in an open-looking handicap.
