        Verdict

        Probably the most competitive race of the meeting. Be Kool easily won a seller at Redcar and was narrowly beaten from this mark here in June while Glasses Up has run well at this level the last twice, though both over 1m2f. GOMETRA GINTY gained her second victory on the track in a Class 3 handicap last month and, though 6lb higher, appears to be improving so can go in again. How Bizarre and Employer would both have chances on recent running but were engaged here yesterday while Al Erayg found 1m2f on testing ground stretching his stamina last time and is better judged on a narrow defeat in a Class 3 handicap at Haydock earlier. Pioneering scored on his only visit here in August and Paula Muir's claim will aid his cause.
