Verdict

Our Place In Loule completed a fast-ground double on this track in September and though raised 4lb will take some beating if ready after a long break. Economic Crisis has won four times around here and though it's taken 28 starts to reach that total he goes well fresh so the lack of a recent run shouldn't be a problem. He finished 6l behind VALLARTA at Catterick in October and though that was over 6f the winner is a front-runner so the drop in trip won't be an inconvenience. Mick Easterby tries Astraea in first-time blinkers after three poor runs since scoring at Newcastle in December. Lord Of The Glen has been running in slightly higher class without showing much.
